This fantastic, heavyweight, high quality ashtray is an item that combines baseball, Americana, and pop culture! A real find for any Mickey Mantle collector, from the Holiday Inn hotel he owned in partnership with Harold Youngman. With the onset of political correctness, smoking related items, especially those that tie All - American sports heroes like #7, with cigarettes or tobacco use, are never to be found again. This ashtray has very clear graphics at the top in block letters "MICKEY MANTLE'S" and an etching of Mickey at the bat as well as the famed 50's icon "Holiday Inn" billboard, and "JOPLIN, MISSOURI" printed at the bottom. This was not a souvenir, it was used in the hotel's lounge.
