Description
This auction is for a rare Pabst Blue Ribbon coaster or ashtray. I think this is Pre Prohibition, although I'm not positive about this. It has the old "B" or Best logo, which was one of the earliest Pabst logos, but this logo was also used for a short time after Prohibition. I think this is a coaster. I was only able to locate two other examples of this online, and both listed it as Pre Prohibition, but one called it a coaster and the other an ashtray. I think it's a coaster, because it has no grooves for cigarettes.It is stamped on the back "Solid Copper" and with a "WB or MB", which is probably the makers mark. The coaster measure 4-7/8" in diameter and stands approximately 3/4" tall. It's in good condition, with no bends or dings to the copper, and the logo is easy to see and read, but there is age darkening to the center, where either a bottle or cigarette sat.
A rare piece of Pabst history, that displays well.
