Vintage Advertising Amber Glass Ashtray 1950's Balts Bros Packing Co. Elm Hill Meats .......This is in great condition for its age.......there are quite a few straw marks on the top edge of the ashtray....... those are not cracks, but rather, dents left in the glass, which are manufacturer's flaws.........See the photos.......Photos do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain with the written word. Note....Baltz Bros Packing Co...., is located in Nashville, Tennessee and has an interesting history. It was taken to court back in the mid '60's for firing two individuals who were helping to recruit people to join a union....the exact words were 'for union and other concerted activities'. ....a similar case was filed in 1975 when another employee was allegedly fired for the same reason, but was dismissed. .
