Lucky Dip

Today's theme is kinda fishy.

Or more specifically salmon-ey.

Canned salmon must have been the go-to canned fish, back in the day.  There's not a single tuna can label in my collection of old can labels.  

Wanna see?

Stop back next week for our next Lucky Dip ! 

Latest additions to my advertising ashtrays collection

These have been in my Almighty Garage of Awesomeness for some time.  

I finally found them.

Wanna see?

 Buck's Television & Radio Repair, Millville, NJ

You know something's old when they're offering radio repair.

As you might expect, Buck's is not googleable.  

======================================================================

                                              Del-Valley Motel, Penns Grove, NJ 

There are postcards of this place available on the 'net, but it's probably been closed for several decades at least.

=======================================================================

                                                  Del Webb's Nevada Club, Laughlin, NV

For somebody who sloughed off the mortal coil in 1974, it's kinda surprising that Del Webb is still slapping up developments.  

The Nevada Club is not googleable, beyond eBay listings for Nevada Club game tokens.

=====================================================================

                             Dom Patrick's Beauty Salon, Vineland, NJ and Bridgeton, NJ

Not googleable.

=======================================================================

                                             J. T. Signs, South Delsea Drive, Vineland, NJ

Not googleable, but the image on the ashtray looks almost EXACTLY like the Parrish Sign Co. building on Delsea Drive, across from the Salvation Army store.  

======================================================================

                                           Luisi's Garwood Bar & Package Store

Not googleable beyond a Newspapers.com headline: 'Frank Luisi of Luisi's Garwood Bar accepts the Slow Pitch Softball League National Division pennant trophy from City Recreation Commissioner'

======================================================================

                            Town & Country Restaurant, 733 S. Delsea Dr, Vineland, NJ

 Not googleable.

=====================================================================

                                The Tradesmen's Bank & Trust Co. of Vineland 

Not googleable.  On the upside this wins the prize for Most Boring Advertising Ashtray, among the ashtrays in my collection. 

======================================================================

That's all for today.  

More coming.  Probably.
