Our
featured pottery this time is a delightful "typewriter man" ashtray.
The piece is unmarked but
probably made by
Broadmoor Pottery in Denver. |
|
|
After
Broadmoor Art Pottery & Tile folded in Colorado Springs, it
was re-established as Broadmoor Pottery in Denver in 1937. Denver
Broadmoor became
much more high volume where we
find most of the collectible advertising items. |

Michael
P Cassidy kindly provided his typewriter ashtray pictures. The old
Denver
Club matchbook cover is the
typewriter paper!

1905, and
stayed with his
older brother Nick in Denver who had immigrated earlier. |
|

salesman for a Denver typewriter supply store and eventually
the
proprietor of his own store in the 1920s. |
