Title: Vintage Martin Stoves & Range Co. Cast Aluminum Advertising Skillet Ashtray – Florence, AL
Description:
Up for sale is a fantastic, highly collectible piece of Southern foundry history: an original vintage Martin Stoves & Range Co. Advertising Skillet Ashtray.
While Martin is legendary for its heavy cast iron cookware, this rare promotional piece was manufactured from lightweight cast aluminum for a special trade show or company giveaway. It features an incredibly crisp, deep, and fully legible embossed script logo in the basin that reads: "Martin STOVES".
This miniature skillet measures approximately 5¾ inches from the tip of the handle to the opposite edge and features dual cigarette rests on the sides. It makes a wonderful display piece for a vintage advertising collector, foundry historian, or as a unique desk valet/spoon rest.
