VINTAGE GE GENERAL ELECTRIC TRI CLAD MOTOR ASHTRAY 1940's ADVERTISING Nice

  
From John Stanley Antique Tools. We are pleased to offer this very unique piece of advertising. This vintage ashtray is advertising General Electric Tri-Clad motors. These motors made their debut in 1940 and it is probably safe to say this piece is from the 1940's.
