Don't Drag me Down - Baby Smoking Cigarette Ashtray

Yes, you’re seeing this correctly. A wide-eyed baby, mid-drag, caught puffing away like a tiny Marlboro Man in diapers. This glass ashtray is the kind of absurd advertising relic that makes you question how anyone, at any time, thought this was a good idea—and that’s exactly why it’s so damn collectible.

Back in the mid-20th century, cigarettes were still being sold with jingles, doctors’ endorsements, and the idea that smoking was “glamorous.” Novelty ashtrays like this one were produced as gag gifts, barware conversation pieces, and ironic souvenirs. Today, they’ve crossed over into cult status—part kitsch, part anti-advertising artifact, part dark comedy.

This piece is a perfect slice of bad-taste Americana, the kind of thing John Waters would serve candy in, or Hunter S. Thompson might have flicked ashes into between paragraphs. Whether you’re a vintage tobacco ephemera collector, an ashtray enthusiast (yes, they exist), or someone who just loves conversation-starting oddities, this little gem hits all the marks.

Measures approx. 4" across.
Guaranteed to be more fun than drinking bleach.
