Meet my new "Little Friend"

I collect all kinds of things & one of them is Smoking Stuff even though I haven't smoked in 30plus years. I have lighters of all kinds & ash trays from Car dealers, radio stations, restaurants, service stations & Casino's that have long been gone. Well today I added to my collection, an older lady friend asked me to pack up everything in one of her rooms because she is moving & I came across an ashtray. So I told her I collected them & asked if I could have it & she said sure it's yours. So I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Bibendum. He's not the real old one made from Bakelite but is a 60-70's remake of him, but HEY I'm not complaining cause he just added to my collection of ODD Stuff....joe

Joe, that is a nice collection, I noticed you have an ash tray on the top shelf from my hometown, the Chattanooga Choo-Choo train terminal ash tray.

YEPPERS, my Pop was a bible salesman :whacked: (really) and he was down in Memphis(1982) & the wife & I took a trip down there to visit him. While we were there one of the things we did was to go to Chattanooga and went to the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Terminal Station & ya just gotta have a souvenir so we got that & a hat. Great times to remember since we also went to Jack Daniels, Elvis's house and met Johnny Cash his wife & her sisters. :D:D:D ....joe

Neat stuff, Joe. I got a bunch of stuff, but my wife won't let me have it in the house, garage yes, house no.:( I have several ashtrays from the Playboy clubs from the 60's and early seventy's, plus old lighters, beer glasses, etc. One of my favorites is a little metal frog that clicks when you squeeze him. The GI's used them in WWII to identify other GI's. It also irritates the little woman when I play with it. :D:LOL:
