This was for the luncheon menu for the 59th Convention of the American Hotel and Motel Association that was held in Mexico City...

Bottom of one foot has: "complies with U.S. regulations, made in Hong Kong". The other foot has: "a product of Big Boy Restaurants of America", (copyright symbol) "Marriott Corp. 1973".

Wow – this hanky is a cross-over collectible – aviation, advertising, and souvenir hankies!

It’s an Eastern Airlines “Junior Pilot” handkerchief, measures 14 ½” x 14 ¼”, and is in excellent condition.

Hanky has been laundered, lightly starched and ironed (by me), and is from a smoke free environment.

This listing has a mint condition Frankoma bowl or ashtray!

It is shaped like a 4 leaf clover and is in the pretty light and dark brown colors known as Satin Brown. I list this as a possible ashtray because the stem portion of the clover is indented (which could hold a cigarette). It could also be just a little bowl.

Whatever its intended use, it measures 3" long (at longest), 2 3/4" wide (at widest and is 1" tall...

Pharmaceutical advertising mugs that were produced by McCoy are becoming more difficult to find -- especially the Rho-Gam mug!

This one was made for Rho-Gam and is a sage green color with shiny over-glaze.

Mug has no chips, dings, cracks, but does have minor interior crazing. It has a 1" glaze break -- not a hairline, not a crack, it's glaze only and doesn't go through.

This is a nice item, priced to reflect imperfection...

This listing has a really neat pharmacy advertising cup produced by McCoy Pottery!

It was made for Rho-Gam, Ortho, and has a child's face on one side. Bottom is marked: Rho-Gam, Ortho.
