Do you know how old it is ? (sort of presuming it's a bit older that the 50's). (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 3

RE: Confederate flag ash tray - 8/22/2004 1:03:04 AM    Humabdos   Posts: 446 Joined: 6/13/2004 From: Greenville Texas The Blackest land whitest people Status: offline It's Glass with 4 color ACL 5 3/8" across. The back is textured and clear. The metallic look is from the painted ACL graphics on the front. The hat is transparent. I got it a box that had been stored for quite some time. Who knows how long he had it before he put it in there? I paid .10 for it. Seems I remember a civil war expert on the board maybe he has seen it B4.

RE: Confederate flag ash tray - 8/22/2004 7:54:27 PM    Pontiled   Posts: 411 Joined: 8/27/2003 Status: offline Sorry it took so long to get back to this item, Humabdos (auctions running). I suspect, but do not know for certain, that this ashtray is from the Civil War Centennial in the early 1960's. It is one of the many, many items offered for sale for those who liked to decorate their house with Civil War momentos. I don't have any idea of its value, but feel that it is minimal. You may want to sell it on eBay on Militaria/Civil War/ (pick a ctegory) and see what happens. I would only use the top photo and probably make an opening bid of $5.00. Do not accept PayPal because their fees are very high on such items. I hope this helps a bit. _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 5

Glad I only paid .10 for it!. I might just keep it out in my bottle room on the coffee table. Are the fees the same for this ash tray as a bottle? I've sold a few things on E Bay recently it does seem like a lot of fees then on top of that the PayPal fees is it worth it on $5 or $10 items? Glen (in reply to Pontiled) Post #: 6

RE: Confederate flag ash tray - 8/22/2004 9:56:33 PM    Pontiled   Posts: 411 Joined: 8/27/2003 Status: offline Glen, on an item like the ash tray, I would just keep it. How can you go wong for buying it at $.10!!! I run a lot of auctions that begin at $5.00, but those are ones that I'm just trying to clear out. I wouldn't just "clear out" the ash tray. I would keep it with all the other goodies I've dug! Of course, I'm a little biased, my ancestors fought with Ranger Mosby of the Black Horse Troop in Virginia. Nice find! _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 7

He pulled some nice 1890s local bottles out of there and barely dug 2' Would you recommend not accepting PayPal on $5 or $10 bottles? I have quite a few duplicates I don't really want. Thanks for the advice. Glen (in reply to Pontiled) Post #: 8

RE: Confederate flag ash tray - 8/23/2004 12:05:33 AM    Pontiled   Posts: 411 Joined: 8/27/2003 Status: offline Nope, not if you can avoid it. Those PayPal charges really bite into your money. I usually start accepting PayPal at $15.00. Contrary to what a few people on eBay say, PayPal is a great company, it's just not quite good enough for the small sales. I'll bet that ash tray looks good! _____________________________ Mike Russell Author of: The Collector's Guide to Civil War Period Bottles and Jars -- Third Edition (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 9

From Houze glass factroy in Point Marion, Pa. I have one to. My father worked there for over 50 years. As did his father and his grandfather. All the men on my dad's side where glass workers. my Grandfathers (all) where glass blowers. I have quite a few ashtrays from there. My dad is now with the Lord since 5-31-99. _____________________________ carol e sine (in reply to Pontiled) Post #: 11
