Mussolini Propaganda Ashtray

Flag_of_the_United_StatesHere’s a particularly ugly bit of home decor. It’s a caricature of Benito Mussolini, intended as an ashtray and manufactured by Bassons Dummy Products of New York City in 1942. There’s one of Adolf and Tojo as well which I shall cast the Eye of Sauron onto and track down.

    I grew up with one of these ashtrays in our home and have no idea what happened to it (well, some idea: prolly my mom threw it out….ugh) I sure wish I still had it; the thing was very crazy and intense for a kid to behold.
