  Mickey Mantle's Holiday Inn Ashtray

NOTES:

 This is a vintage late 1950's Mickey Mantle Holiday Inn Ashtray. In 1956, Harold D. Youngman approached Mickey Mantle about leasing and operating a Holiday Inn hotel in Joplin, Missouri. It was agreed that Mickey would be named the president of the Mickey Mantle Motel Corp., the Holiday Inn, and Youngman would be the vice president. The hotel opened for business on January 10, 1957.

The Hotel's Gift Shop featured Mickey Mantle's Holiday Inn mementos that included; postcards, matches, jewelry, pens and pencils, photographs, an “Our Trip” diary, pennants, pocket knives and more. There were 2 or 3 styles of ashtrays made of heavy glass, that had a picture of Mickey swinging with the Holiday Inn Mantle logo. This ceramic Ashtray is most likely dated to around 1957 through to the early 1960s.

The Ceramic Ashtrays are very rare because not many survived over the years. The few that do surface in auctions often show chips or and cracks. Few have made it in the condition of the ashtray pictured above. Because of it's rarity it is difficult to put an accurate value on these ceramic ashtrays. The glass ashtrays are far more common and typically sell in the $150.-$250. price range.
