The Boeing 727 was launched with orders from United and Eastern Airlines and rolled off the line in 1962. United Captains received this ash tray to commemorate the addition of the plane to its fleet. (The pilot's name was added to the side of the ash tray.)
The ashtrays measure 7.25" square x 1" high. Very good antique condition showing age-appropriate patina (some loss of cork on the bottom). Pics shot with and without flash. Please consult the photos for content/condition specifics
