I FOUND YOUR WORK VERY INTRESTING. AT TIMES IT WAS LOOKING IN A MIRROR OF SOME OF MY ASHTRAYS PAST AND PRESENT. BETWEEN MY LATE FATHER AND MY PARTNER, JOHN, THEY HAD ABOUT 5,000 BREWERIANA AND TOBACCOANA ITEMS. WE HAVE BEEN SELLING FOR 5 YEARS CONCENTRATING ON BREWERIANA AND KEEPING BACK TOBACCO RELATED ITEMS UNTIL THIS YEAR. IT IS INTERESTING YOU MENTIONED THE FAR EAST ,AS THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT BUYERS [ I HAVE TO PACK 17 ASHTRAYS TO ONE BUYER ]. THERE COULD BE THE FUTURE FOR SELLING ASHTRAYS , JUGS ETC..I HAVE 18 OGDENS LEFT BUT SADLY HAVE SOLD THE ONE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR.MAYBE WE COULD TALK SOMETIME BUT NOT THROUGH E. BAY. REGARDS JOHN AND CHRISTINE
