Description

4 1/2" dia x 1 1/2" high ceramic ashtray marked: "senior ball; MHS; June 12, 1964.". The ashtray belonged to the donor's brother, Robert Peterson and after he brought it to the donor, something fell on it and cracked it. Donor repaired it with glue; otherwise OK. Donor's note (in the Tyvek envelope for the two bicycle licenses donated at the same time) stated: "Bob thinks the Hotel Suburban did (the ashtrays)--not the kids. And he was the only one at his table to swipe it. He never smoked and ultimately married his date."
