Circa: 1933 Country of Origin: United States Manufacturer: Pre War American Production
This Art Deco era solid copper ashtray was a souvenir of the Chicago World's Fair. It comes in its original box, the back of which is a self-mailer so the fair goer could send the souvenir to a friend. The center of the 3 inch square ashtray has an embossed image of the Chrysler Motors exhibit building at the fair with the words "A Century Of Progress, Chicago, 1993, Chrysler Motors, Plymouth, Dodge, DeSoto, Chrysler".
It doesn't look like the ashtray was ever used - there are no nicotine or ash stains. There is a bit of tarnish which is to be expected after 85 years, easily polished away if desired. The box is in good condition with no tears.
