Up for sale is a rare, authentic vintage souvenir from the 1933–1934 Chicago World\'s Fair (\"A Century of Progress\").
This lot includes the Art Deco pressed-copper ashtray featuring the embossed Chrysler Motors pavilion design, along with its incredibly hard-to-find original yellow illustrated mailer box. The box features bold period graphics and the iconic Chrysler fair slogan: \"Where friends meet.\"
The back of the box was originally designed as a self-mailer so fairgoers could send it directly to friends or family as a postcard souvenir. Finding these complete with the original packaging intact is highly collectible.
Condition Details:
• Ashtray: In very good vintage condition. It features a beautiful, natural aged copper patina. No deep gouges or warping.
• Box: In good structural shape. The graphic side is bright with minor shelf wear along the edges and corners as expected for an item over 90 years old.
Please review all included photos for a closer look at the condition. Item will be packed carefully and shipped with tracking.
