The first image depicts a cigarette case made of some type of alabaster material. Well crafted, what makes this item really interesting is its mother of pearl interpretation of the Taj Mahal.
Next up is metal ashtray promoting the long gone Dady's Market of Plymouth, PA. This memento recalls the days of independent stores, with each specializing in a certain type of product.
The two full pint glasses promote Guinness, and as can be seen are festooned with classic Guinness ads.
Lastly is a glass ashtray celebrating the Centennial of Kaier's Brewery of Mahanoy City, PA. Except for the added dates, this item is similar to another Kaier's ashtray. Sadly, Kaier's closed up within a decade of their 100th Anniversary…...
Hi, aghcollect….thank you very much!
Thanks, Dave…I'm glad that you like such things. Wouldn't it be great if somehow the CW members could get together in person?
Hi, Sean…thanks for the love!
I just left Mcmurray PA yesterday:) I went all over the place finding stuff.
Thanks, Trey…both for the love of the cigarette box, and for the info on your trip. A lot of cool stuff can be found in PA. A couple of big cities, a few middle sized ones, and a lot of rural areas is fertile ground for collectors.
I'm looking forward to hearing about and seeing some of your finds…congratulations on a good hunt!
I'm going to have to go back and bring a trailer LOL. Lots of stuff out there!!!
Sounds like it was a great trip!
You have no idea !!! Are you familiar with Parsons near Wilkes Barre?
Oh, yes, Trey. I: live pretty close to there :)
There is something there that I want real bad, I just need to know if it's still there.
Check it, and if you need it to be picked up, let me know. I'll be going out soon for the rest of day, so if you need help, I won't be able to do this until tomorrow...
Hi, Katherine….thank you for the love!
I wish it were that simple:) it's a 6 foot sign and pole. But if you do have a flat bead trailer that would be cool!!
Hi, Trey…sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, but this was a relentlessly hectic week for me.
But i did look into the trailer, and came up dry. Do you have a Plan B?
Hi, Sean, thank you very much!
