Ian L Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I saw one of these come up on the Antiques road trip last night, is it correct what the sellers are stating that they were made at the end of WW2 for the aircrew in Italy or were they made much late as a souvenir for the general public ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WWII-USAAF-Tactical-Air-Force-by-Ashtray-in-Fine-Porcelain-by-Richard-Ginori-/331420377526 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 If you are interested in the history of the TAF Ashtray you could contact the museum's archive:- http://www.museodidoccia.it/servizi-offerti/archivio.html Personally, I can't see that they would have been a souvenir for the general public but they could have still been available well after the war at TAF reunions in Italy and even other countries.
