From the indefatiguable workshops of Bill's SOUVENIRS & NOVELTIES MILWAUKEE Comes this nifty combination ASHTRAY/MINI BEER BOTTLE/LAMPSHADE!

The cardboard maroon-colored removable lampshape, with its' gold metal edging along the entire top and bottom rims, is also in very good shape, and has three other beer labels: BLATZ, BUDWEISER, and RUPPERT. All are apparently paper labels used by Bill's on other mini beer bottles. The solid cap on the ACME bottle is silver, and the lampshade "clips" over the cap snugly via the bends of the 2 wires that are soldered to the lower rim. I have seen a few of these, but none with the lampshade, and certainly none in such fine overall condition. A really nice piece of miniature breweriana.
