Cool old cigar ashtray....
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.

I picked it up with a bunch of pipes, ashtrays and other tobacciana here in Tulsa. I haven't even gotten through all of it yet...

Lots of cool stuff. Any idea on how old they are? 30's and 40's? Originally Posted by droy1958

Only item I'm sure of is the Lucky Strike box. The slogan that stuck was "Lucky strike green went to war." Originally Posted by droy1958

No Idea why that colour was needed for the war effort, other than maybe a paint colour used in the Pacific.
Any way, the green never came back.\ after WWII ended.
Luckies at the time were sold in both tins and cardboard cartons.
The Raleigh and Chesterfield packages could certainly be from anytime in the 1940's.

The box states it's a classic reproduction of the Lucky Strike green package, so that's repro Originally Posted by allusred

*EDIT: Found a snopes article all about Luckies during WWII. Apparently they changed from green to white packages, claiming a war need for green dye, but probably was a marketing thing.
