American Export Lines: A neat piece of mid-century design looking a little like a flying saucer - a 5" diameter Bakelite ashtray in red with the line name in white around the perimeter. I love this minimalist design, and the color. This item is hefty enough that it would have been used onboard or given out to booking agencies back in the era when smoking was acceptable in the office. From after October 1962 when Isbrandtsen bought a controlling interest in American Export. Showing a few signs of use but otherwise in very good condition.
