Oh, the irony!
Straight out of the 1950’s, this Carnation advertising ashtray proudly boasts the slogan “Best for Babies” …on an ashtray. Because nothing says family-friendly like mixing milk and smoke, right?
These quirky contradictions are exactly what makes vintage advertising so collectible today. It’s a slice of mid-century charm, nostalgia, and unintentional humor all rolled into one display-worthy piece.
Brand: Carnation – Best for Babies (yes, really!)
Use: Display, conversation starter, or the ultimate retro icebreaker
This unique trinket has a slight chip, zoom in on pics. Other than that it’s in pristine shape, the graphic color is vibrant, the gold around the edge intact. My father worked for Carnation, and like most people back then, he smoked, so I know this isn’t from the 70’s. Would you laugh, collect, or both?
