MORE INFO...

Advertising ashtrays have been around for a long time. But it was not until after World War II that enterprising entrepreneurs realized that there was a vast market for putting the logos of businesses on ashtrays. Armed with sample kits, salesmen made the rounds of thousands upon thousands of businesses hawking their wares. And during the heyday of advertising ashtrays, from the mid-1940s through the 1960s, many businesses saw ashtrays as a cheap and effective means of advertising.

Advertising ashtrays have become a popular collectible. Collectors seek ashtrays with spectacular and beautiful artwork, like the pin-up ashtrays; or, ashtrays associated with certain themes, like Route 66, railroads and airlines, motels and bars, etc. Of all the types of advertising ashtrays, those associated with Nevada casinos and gaming have proven to be the crème de la crème. The mystique and allure associated with Nevada, the gaming capitol of the world, has carried over to the gaming-associated ashtrays as well.
