Old Cast Iron Ad Ashtray reads “Reading Hardware Co – Builders Hardware – Lawn Mowers – READING PA”. Looks and feels like cast iron and is magnetic. Measures close to 5″ wide x 3 3/8″ and 1/2″ tall. Nice weight for size at little over 1/4 pound. Historic company goes way back to late 1800s.
Good condition with less than average wear for age with light tarnishing, verdigris, scratches, scuffs, nice patina and still looks great! Seen few of these ashtrays having copper wash, but this tray looks to have a brass wash to me and looks in very good condition so check pictures.
Guessing made 1930s – 1940s. Cool Old Reading Hardware PA Cast Iron Ashtray!! Please check pictures for description and condition.
