Hi all out there in ashtray land, here's a few more i was lucky enough to come across last week. I think you guys might like some of these.
Nice B&H (JPS-a-like), local ceramic. Great condition.
Image
This is a belter. Goodyear 'Wranger' radial. Proper branding on the tyre. It was bloody filthy but you can see how it turned out.
Image
This is stunning. Genuine Noritake Bone China. Probably used in an actual Noritake retailer. Mint.
Image
Bloody ginormous ashbucket. Local ceramic, bit of cracking on the glaze but rather nice.
Image
Plastic Tuborg. Huge thing. Mint.
Image
Crystal King Size. Local brand of fags no longer made. plastic.
Image
This is great. Very heavy glass. Ace condition.
Image
I'm dead chuffed to finally get a Gold leaf as they're pretty rare. Local ceramic. Very good condition.
Image
Another from Borneo Motors obviously promoting Toyota. Local ceramic, mint.
Image
As above, from the side.
Image
This is exactly the same shape as the Toyota one. I just like the branding.Great condition.
Image
As above, from the front.
Image
I haven't seen a Peter Stuyvesant one like this so I snapped it up.
Image
I didn't know they were linked to American football.
Image
As above, front. Borderline mint. Ceramic, no maker's mark.
Image
This helmet thing seemed quite a craze for a while, as I've seen quite a few. This is mint.
Image
As above, rear. Nice graphics. Local ceramic, no maker's mark.
Image

Thanks for looking. ;)

This thread should be retitled... "One man's evil mission to own every single ash tray in Malaysia..."

A real belter. Perfect nick. Ceramic.

And here from the side, is the money shot. Datsun.

Very nice local ceramic. Here's side one. Pity the health nazis have made them erase that strapline.
Image
Side two
Image
Side three. Most SE Asian languages covered I reckon.
Image
This is ace. Wade UK. Mint.
Image
Mint French ceramic. Tres rustique.
Image

That's a fair point @mercutio, and you're spot on. While we do have a ciggy ban in public places, it's often flouted with little or no comeback. Singapore's a different kettle of fish however, but of course, Changi airport duty-free is overflowing with fags at amazing prices. Even the canny Singaporeans can see there's money to be made out of us idiot smokers. Just as long as you don't take them into their fair city-state, of course. ;)

In the Philipines, it was difficult to know which was more likely to kill you - the general smog from the static car park (otherwise know as every single road on the island) or the passive smoke from every single filipino having about 10 fags on the go at once, which was generally brought on by the massive in your face glamour style cigarette advertising by western companies, of the type that was banned here even decades before sports sponsorhsip was banned (let alone the mandatory pack health warnings, public space ban and plain packaging etc).

Morning all, just thought I'd share a couple of little things I bought last week. I'm sure, like me, you will be astonished at what they could get away with on the branding front, for ciggies back then. I'm really chuffed I managed to nab these for such a great price.
This Craven A ashtray is mint. Not a scratch.
Image
Here's the money shot. Amazing, isn't it?
Image
The real McCoy with Carreras branding on the base.
Image
And this was thrown into the deal. I think I'll frame it, and display it as something of historical note.
Image

Thanks for looking and hope you liked seeing something like this. ;)

Here's a few more I've bought to add to the collection. A few of the dealers at the flea-market seem glad to see me these days ;)
Nice ceramic. No maker's mark.
Image
Mint condition. A now defunct shipping company, big in Asia.
Image
Its underside
Image
Melamine in excellent nick. Made in the UK
Image
Agate? Hennessy VSOP.
Image
B&H ceramic. Mint condition. It's the only one I have with a health warning.
Image
Rather nice, isn't it? Made in the UK.
Image
This is fabulous. Locally made. Solid tyre.
Image
Made in Malaya. Must be pre-1963
Image
Ceramic. Made in Finland. VGC.
Image
Lovely unmarked ceramic.
Image
Obviously local, mint condition. Love the branding.
Image
I have quite a few of this pedestal style style.
Image
B&H coffee cup. Lovely condition.
Image
This is really nice. 1960's rum distiller.
Image
Asbestos! I cleaned it up but don't you love that groovy patina?
Image
I still can't work out its age but the five digit phone numbers mean early 60's
Image
Red Hackle. Sounds like a bad cough. No longer in business.
Image
Just liked the shape and the name. Mint condition.
Image
This is the first of this push type I've seen and bought. Great condition. Works a treat.
Image
It cleaned up well as it was bloody filthy.
Image
And here's my brother's Christmas present. Again, it was filthy but the Cuthbert diligence worked its magic.
Image

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of them. Thanks for taking the time to have a look. ;)
