Packers Ashtray Appraisal

1960 Green Bay Packers Western Division Champions Ashtray from Sneezer's Snack Shop

This is a vintage commemorative glass ashtray celebrating the 1960 Green Bay Packers Western Division Championship. The ashtray is circular, constructed from clear glass with a prominently featured green and yellow color scheme, reflecting the team's colors. The top surface of the ashtray features a detailed graphic under the glass, showcasing the names of the 1960 Green Bay Packers team members, coaches, and staff, simulated as signatures in black ink on a bright yellow circular background. The central text within this yellow circle reads '1960 GREEN BAY PACKERS'. Surrounding the yellow center, along the outer rim of the ashtray, is a dark green band on which 'GREEN BAY PACKERS WESTERN DIV. CHAMPIONS N.F.L.' is printed in white lettering, with '19' and '60' flanking the text, indicating the year. Below this inscription, the phrase 'Sneezer's Snack Shop' is elegantly rendered in a script-like font, also in white, suggesting it was either a sponsor or the original vendor of this commemorative item. The ashtray has three cigarette rests molded into its clear glass rim, indicative of its primary function. Visually, the item appears to be in good condition for its age, with the glass remaining clear and the printed graphics clear and unfaded, though there are no visible indicators of significant wear, chips, cracks, or repairs from the provided image. The design and presentation suggest a promotional or commemorative piece from the mid-20th century, specifically the early 1960s, a period rich in sports memorabilia focused on team achievements. The quality of the printing and the sturdy glass construction indicate a durable, well-made item, presumably intended for long-term display or use.
