Thanks Clint. I’ve always thought the Tigers version of this piece was one of the coolest figural pieces. This is the only Pirates version I’ve ever seen also. Makes me hope there are other teams floating around out there somewhere.

Wow Brock.... Great to see you found the Pirates version. That used to be mine, and is one of sales I most regret. I must've sold it 20 years ago, and haven't seen one since (until now).

Many congrats... glad it found the right home!

You sure have sold a lot of good stuff over the years!

Yep.... and often it's helped to fund other great stuff. But definitely not the case with that Pirates Ash tray.... I think I netted about $90 for it in a Bricol Auction (whoopie!) Anyone here remember Bricol?

Ha thats cool you used to own it.
It's dated 1939 on the bottom by the original owner i'm assuming. That puts it about 10 years older than I would have guessed.
Hopefully in 2023 I'll come across the Tigers version and can post in next years favorite pickup thread.

The Tigers is a tough piece, but nothing like the Pirates. Hope you find one, Brock...

I believe I recall reading (in an old thread right here on net54) that the Tigers piece was created by a Detroit-based "artist" who was also a Tigers fan. So perhaps the Pirates Ashtray is a one-off that the artist specially created for a friend or client from Pittsburgh.

To me, these scarce "mystery pieces" are among the coolest things in the hobby.

Simply wonderful items all around so far...congrats to the happy owners!

But, given the way I lean, I must say that I absolutely love Clint's Topeka Cabinet Card and the collection of 1860s/70's Silks that Gary recently picked up and posted.

Would love to see more of this past years 19th C. pick-ups!

Happy Holidays All!
