Mine has been the only such ashtray I've ever seen. I think I posted on it once upon a time, but that ashtray sat on my father's night stand for as far back as I can remember... like age six.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-68267723055492684642010-08-27T06:29:14.507-06:002010-08-27T06:29:14.507-06:00Are you talking about my chrome big-billed birds a...<i>Are you talking about my chrome big-billed birds ashtray... </i><br /><br />Precisely. I noticed it towards the end of the 3rd season (the last season on DVD; the 4th season of <i>Mad Men</i> is currently being broadcast on AMC). It was probably there the entire time I just never noticed it.<br /><br />Smoking and drinking in the office of the Mad Men is de riguer - as would be most appropriate for the early 60s.Kris, in New Englandhttp://www.noodlingonit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-57175794974908212302010-08-26T18:55:34.352-06:002010-08-26T18:55:34.352-06:00Nice black ribbon they're tied up with, too.Nice black ribbon they're tied up with, too.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974038903187252059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-85236196511109656032010-08-26T18:40:42.957-06:002010-08-26T18:40:42.957-06:00...your ashtray is featured prominently on the des...<i>...your ashtray is featured prominently on the desk of the Creative Director of the ad agency...</i><br /><br />Are you talking about my chrome big-billed birds ashtray... or something else? That chrome ashtray was patented, btw. I've spent HOURS looking for the patent but can't find it, even though the number is embossed on the bottom of my ashtray.<br /><br />Lou: I checked out the pot-pics (heh). They're quite good, the pots.

Mesmerizing and truly authentic. And I thought of you Buck - your ashtray is featured prominently on the desk of the Creative Director of the ad agency in the show; the character (Don Draper) is the heartbeat of it all.<br /><br />The show starts in 1960. The ashtray is there from the beginning.Kris, in New Englandhttp://www.noodlingonit.comnoreply@blogger.com
