ANTIQUEHAVEN

Photographs are invaluable time capsules in history. They tell us about what people looked like, trends, architecture, interior decorating, clothing and so much more. I found a photo of a child in front of the family Christmas Tree from 1943. In it, on a table to the side, was a Detroit Tigers Ashtray that I have never seen. I showed it to a good sports memorabilia friend of mine and he also has never seen one. Close inspection does not help in identifying whether this was a homemade ceramic piece or one that was meant for public purchase. It appears to be about 8-9" tall and shows a Tiger on top of a baseball that is marked "Detroit". The ball is resting on a baseball glove and bat. This item would be cool to find and match up with the photo.
