Recent additions to our ashtray collection. When smoking was not a taboo and warnings were not splashed on every leaf in the town, even PSUs distributed an ashtray as a new year gift. I have one from Air India and now this one from Shipping Corporation. Article Nos. 142 and 143. Progress has been rather slow in the last three years. BTW does anyone have the Indian Railway ashtray of the good old days when you could smoke in the compartment. Remember, it was a bowl-shaped thing (fixed in a ring) that one could turn upside down to empty it. If anyone knows where to get one, please DM me. Smoking is injurious to health but collecting ashtrays or matchboxes is not.
