Ash Tray Tangent, Part IV
COLLMONT Ash Tray
COLLMONT Ash Tray
This week we have not one, but two ash trays from Rohrer Chevrolet, a.k.a. Bill Rohrer’s Chevrolet City, once one of the largest car dealerships in South Jersey - and the country. Opened in September, 1951, Rohrer Chevrolet became the first of many auto dealerships on what would be known as Admiral Wilson Boulevard’s “Automotive Row.”
The Pub Ash Tray
Reader Dave Cosky admitted that since this ash tray feature was his idea, he had better contribute, so this week we have an ash tray from his collection.
Sticky Fingers
Another call out to readers, this time for local ash trays, has brought a nice selection of local pieces. We imagine that most, if not all the establishments advertised on the ash trays that will be featured will be recognizable to readers.

Part I
Batting fifth in our Retrospect local memorabilia lineup is a very rare - possibly one-of-a-kind - baseball program. And since the Phillies 2024 season officially started last night, the timing is ideal to feature it.

Woolworth Stencils Next
The next items up for discussion from our window display are simple little pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. And we doubt that, with the exception of someone living in the Borough of Collingswood, anyone would even look twice at.
