Cool old cigar ashtray....
Something I picked up.....
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?

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

This image is one I've posted before on Cigar Bum.
Posting it now because I think there's one item in the picture that relates to the "period" items mentioned in this thread.
On the right in the picture, below the open match box. s

This Match safe is one of only a few items I have in any way related to smoking some time ago.
This belonged to my Grandfather who was a Pipe Smoker, Cigar smoker...and a Cigarette smoker.
He had and used this Match safe in 1878-1879, prior to going to work with Edison the following year.
It does have some age on it now.
The ashtray is the one I have used since 1973.
