Sneezers Snack Shop Appraisal

1960 Green Bay Packers Western Division Champions N.F.L. Sneezers Snack Shop Ashtray

This item is a circular glass ashtray commemorating the 1960 Green Bay Packers as Western Division Champions of the NFL. The ashtray features a central yellow disc with black printed 'signatures' of the team members, coaches, and staff, surrounding the text '1960 GREEN BAY PACKERS'. The outer rim of the ashtray is clear glass with a dark green band printed on the underside, displaying 'GREEN BAY PACKERS WESTERN DIV. CHAMPIONS N.F.L.' along the top curve, flanked by '19' and '60', indicating the year. Along the bottom curve of the green band, 'Sneezer's Snack Shop' is printed, suggesting it was a promotional item from this establishment. The ashtray has four indentations on its clear glass rim, designed to hold cigars or cigarettes. The printing on the yellow disc and green band appears to be in good condition with no significant fading or wear visible. The overall condition of the glass appears intact with no immediate signs of chips, cracks, or heavy scratching on the visible surfaces. The clarity of the glass suggests it has been well-preserved or minimally used. This piece combines sports memorabilia with advertising from a local business, likely dating from the 1960s. The craftsmanship is typical of era-specific promotional glassware, with a focus on clear graphic presentation rather than intricate design. The 'signatures' add a unique, personalized touch, making it a desirable collectible for Green Bay Packers fans and sports memorabilia enthusiasts.
