It's always nice to find multiple ashtrays at the same place at the same time.
These came from an estate sale that's been ongoing, i.e. the estate has TONS TONS TONS of stuff, and so the estate sale has been held every couple weeks since early September.
I've come to every one of them, and got at least something.
These came from last week's estate sale:
Pudding Stone Inn - Boonton, NJ
This place must have closed a long time ago. If you google it the only thing that pops up is people selling postcards depicting it.
=======================================================================
'Modern' AND 'Fireproof.' !!!
There's zero info on the 'net about The Crillon. In you google it, what pops up is The Claridge Hotel, which is also on Indiana Avenue.
There's also somebody on eBay selling a matchbook advertising The Crillon.
======================================================================
Now here's something special:
The only ashtray I've ever found that advertised FOUR places.
- Ranch House, Convent Station, NJ.
According to the 'net, the full name of this (defunct) place was named 'Rod's 1890s Ranch House.'
- Rod's, West Orange, NJ
Another defunct restaurant, but at least I found some info about it, and Rod himself. To wit:
"Gerard "Rod' Keller, also known as GK, opened the original "Rod's" in West Orange in 1936 with just $500 "
- The Acres
Also defunct, but at least we got a photo:
- Shadowbrook, Shrewsbury, NJ
Still in business! It's now a wedding venue called 'Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury.' So classy like.
---------------------------------
I wish I could find more information about Rod Keller, but came up empty when I googled his name.
==============================================================
That's it for today. Hopefully, I'll find more on my travels.
