ASHTRAY MEDAL ARTICLE PUBLISHED

Sam Pennington writes: "We have just added an article on ashtray
medals to the Maine Antique Digest web site. We describe the medals,
list all known and illustrate twenty-four of them in big pictures.
Thanks to those who responded to our E-Sylum request. If anyone knows
of a medal we missed, please let us know. We have limited the definition
to ashtray medals signed by known sculptors. So far we have found
medals by Paul Manship, Sidney Waugh, and Chester Beach."

[For those who missed our earlier discussion, here's the article's
opening paragraph: "A little-known category in the medals collecting
field is the ashtray medal. Ranging from three and a half inches in
diameter up to 8 inches, they look like oversized art medals. They
are now sometimes called "deep dishes" because smoking is so out of
fashion."

Be sure to check out the article - it's very well done and the
illustrations are marvelous.  What great medals!  -Editor]
