Drum Roll !!!

Last month I mentioned that I was going to count how many old advertising ashtrays were in my collection.

Turns out the total is...

*************** 159 ***************

That's one hundred and fifty-nine advertising ashtrays, bought over a period of... well I don't know exactly, but really - how cool is it to have that many???

Extremely so, I'd say.. 

Here's my latest vintage advertising ashtray:

                                                  Bavarian Premium Beer

                                         Mount Carbon Brewery - Pottsville, PA 

Mount Carbon Brewery ran from 1941 until 1977.  Yuengling bought the rights to the name and label, but retired it a few years later.
