Today's star is Madeleine Carroll, here shilling for Calox Tooth Powder...
I don't know much about Madeleine Carroll, never having seen one of her films. However, I remember reading somewhere that she was beautiful to the max, although in her still photos she doesn't look a whole lot different from many other 1930s pretty faces.
Commercial tooth powders are still out there, but there are also tons of recipes for homemade tooth powder to be found on the 'net. I'd try that before I'd pay for it.
I'm in a purple mood today.
Thus and therefore, today's Lucky Dip is made up of purple items:

A manticore is a legendary critter with the head of a man and the body of a lion. Some descriptions say the manticore has the tail of a scorpion, but clearly our manticore has a lion's tail.
BTW, note that sorta faint-ish spot is NOT on the actual watch. Likely from a little glare in the photo.

It doesn't get much sweeter than this, which I think I found...
well, I forget exactly, but it was somewhere online:
This is a MUST SEE, as well as a hoot of hoots.
With a surprise at the end:
Today's star is a kinda unique choice:
Charles Laughton was one of those old timey actors whose every performance was perfection.
His performance in The Hunchback of Notre Dame always makes me cry.
His performance in Ruggles of Red Gap is a total hoot.
Another one that pulls at my heartstrings is his role in This Land Is Mine. That movie is a must-see, being one of the few World War II movies that do not actually show much fighting, although there are several Nazis being evil in it.
A couple months ago I got three at the same place.
I love to find more than one at a time.
Anyhoo, on to what you came for:
According to the 'net, A. J. Bayless Markets were in all over Arizona from 1930 until the early Eighties.
I'm wondering how an ashtray from a supermarket in Arizona ended up in a flea market in New Jersey.

Insurance - Real Estate
Here's what the office looked like, sort of, from Google street view:
The 'net refers to this place as 'The Forum Diner,' (which had the same address, i.e. Route 4).
It ran from 1967 to 2007, and hosted an area famous mob arrest in 1974.

Sometime this month amma count how many advertising ashtrays I have.
Can't wait to let you know the total.
