The Richards and Conover Hardware Company's life span ran from 1858 until 1999, and during that time the company saw hundreds of salespeople. Advertising from those sales people came in a  number of forms, with the Ashtray being a popular form for some time. This specimen cam from salesman Alec Hunter, and is in great shape. It would look amazing in a Rich-Con display with any of the Rich-Con marked axes or other tools.
