ASHTRAY 1941 CONOCO Distributors - QUALITY PRODUCTS INC - Pocomoke Salisbury MD

Description

MISPRINTED Conoco ashtray has the diamond shaped emblem upside down!
Measures approx. 3.5" square and about 5/8" deep
My research found that "Quality Products, Inc" of Salisbury and Pocomoke Maryland
was predominately a buyer and canner of produce on the shore in the 1930's.  But, by
1941
they appear to have become the local distributors for CONOCO Oil and Gas.
I have included an image of a November 14, 1941 advertisement found in The Daily Times,
Salisbury Maryland newspaper
which announces the "Grand Opening" of a gasoline service
station in
town -
where and when
this ashtray
was likely given out as a Conoco "souvenir".
A
copy
of the ad
will
be included with the sale.
The two images of their earlier produce business are from 1932 and 1933
Rare find for sure -  thanks for looking!
