Description:

1) The marvelous 3- dimensional figural china ash tray measures 8" by 4" by 3". The leaf shaped ash tray is in full color and has a figure of Uncle Sam and a Spaniard fighting over a cigar labeled "CUBA". 2) The beer tray measures 12" diameter and has an image of Admiral Dewey in the center. The tray is made of tin and the image and design is a full color chromo litho that covers the entire front surface. 3) The patriotic beer mug measures 4 1/2" by 5" and is of superb quality. British made. The mug is made from china and has a sterling silver rim. The interior is glazed and the exterior has a black matte finish. The center of the exterior has an oval design with crossed U.S. and British flags. Below the flags are two hands shaking and the date "1898". The meaning of this emblem is not generally known but has to do with worldwide political/economic power struggles, dealing with tariffs. Specifically, Britain was trying to get the U.S. as an ally against Europe.

Rating Definition:

The items are all in very good condition with only minor wear on the beer tray. The mug does have some cracking of the glaze.
