The base shows a black-and-white photograph of the garage frontage with the inscription \"W. van Kleef\" and a telephone number. Two passenger cars are parked in front of the building, recognisable as models from the 1960s. The rim is cut glass with a serrated profile, identical to the series to which other Dutch garage ashtrays of this period belonged. The piece is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGlass advertising ashtrays were a common promotional gift in the fifties, sixties and seventies for garages and local traders. Made in series with a personalised base photograph, they served both as functional objects and brand carriers in the waiting room or on the counter. This example documents a car dealership at the moment when the Dutch street was still populated by compact European models, and the telephone number still fitted on the shopfront.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Collectionist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42339615244502,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/1442\/9896\/products\/glazen-asbak-autobedrijf-w-van-kleef-1270790.jpg?v=1772708598","url":"https:\/\/thecollectionist.nl\/en\/products\/glass-advertising-ashtray-autobedrijf-van-kleef-1960s","provider":"The Collectionist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
