Terry Bond Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Great stuff showing up here! Thanks to everyone who contributes items many of us have never seen before. Here is an unusual item - a tip tray as used in a tavern advertising the Dort Automobile. This one was perhaps never used and is exceptionally clean and in superb condition. It's about 4 1/2" diameter. While advertising tip trays were fairly common in their day and are highly collectable now, advertising on them associated with automobiles seems quite scarce. Also shown is another great tray from my collection showing a lady motorist taking a break for a drink of something refreshing. Although it advertises a bread company, the motoring related image is fantastic. Terry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert G. Smits Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Great stuff Terry. I have been collecting Breweriana for years and this is the first tip tray I have seen with direct automotive advertising although a lot of Breweriana used generic automotive themes like your second example 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike McCandless Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Uncommon piece. A real plymouth globe. Why is it upside down? See the picture included. Most of these are reproductions that you find. This is a 16.5" which is the original size, happy to own it now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike McCandless Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Will need to get a wood frame for this. Not everything has to be mint! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 i do like that early Chrysler & De Soto Service sign. It'll look fantastic in a distressed wood frame! It has character! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
