Disneyland Ashtrays by Eleanore Welborn

I love vintage Disneyland souvenirs, but, in general, they are nearly always too expensive to ever be something I could truly hope to collect. (Although I have been lucky a couple of times at thrift stores,
when I found the items I wrote about in this post .)
Today, I'm writing specifically about vintage ashtrays from Disneyland  made by Eleanore Welborn.
This wonderful example of a larger-sized one recently sold for $214.45 on eBay:

The smaller sizes seen in the next photo are a bit more common, measuring approx. four inches square or less:

There were different ones for every "Land" at the park, and also for Main Street, USA:

 Here are two examples of back stamps from some of the ceramic items produced for Walt Disney Productions - I believe these ashtrays, plates and other similar souvenirs were offered for sale only at Disneyland, and most likely back in the late 1950's.

They're pretty cool, and - you know - small collectibles don't take up too much space!
Speaking of space - we have Tomorrowland (I want to see that movie, by the way!):

And we have Fantasyland, in pink:

The last one I'm showing you, below  is the only one I actually own.
I felt VERY lucky, indeed when I found it years ago at Dandelion Days in Jackson, California ....

.... for three dollars.
Score!
I may never find another, but I treasure this one - and you never know what you might find, right?
That's what "the thrill of the hunt" is all about, after all.
