3 Wilton Iron Drunk & Signpost Ashtrays - A trio of vintage cold-painted cast iron novelty ashtrays produced by Wilton Products. Each piece features a figural character in a state of intoxication leaning against a vertical support. The collection includes one square-based ashtray, one round-based ashtray with a roped border, and one octagonal-based ashtray. The square-based ashtray features a figure leaning against a signpost. The yellow-painted sign is inscribed with the text Russell Sage College. The front edge of the base is embossed with the text SENIOR WEEKEND 1935. The underside of this ashtray is embossed with the maker identification reading WILTON PRODUCTS WRIGHTSVILLE PA and a small numeral 3. The round-based ashtray depicts a figure in a black tuxedo and top hat leaning against a green street lamp with a yellow lantern. The octagonal-based ashtray depicts a figure in a black jacket and tan trousers leaning against a similar green street lamp. All three figures are modeled in dynamic, off-balance poses characteristic of early 20th-century novelty breweriana and tobacciana. Dimensions: 5 in tall.
