About the Item
1930s General Streamline Jumbo Tire Uranium Glass
Rubber Ashtray: General Tire
Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio
An outstanding example of Americana promotional design, this rare 1930s General Streamline Jumbo Tire Ashtray combines industrial charm, bold materials, and period marketing flair. Crafted by the General Tire
Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio, the epicenter of the early U.S. tire industry, this piece stands out among collectible tire ashtrays and automotive promotional objects from the pre-war era.
The rubber tire body is boldly stamped around the rim with “General Streamline Jumbo, General Tire and Rubber Co., Akron Ohio USA,” reflecting its original branding as a functional yet eye-catching piece of corporate advertising. Both sides of the tire are finished identically and show only faint wear consistent with age and light use.
Set within the tire is a luminous uranium glass insert, a hallmark of 1930s design and glow-in-the-dark collectible glassware. Around the rim of the uranium glass are 10 evenly spaced cigarette divots for ash and rest, and the piece remains free of chips, cracks, or repairs. Etched into the glass base is the charming slogan:
“The General Tire goes a long way to make friends,”
a classic example of mid-century promotional messaging intended to reinforce brand loyalty and community good will.
This General Tire ashtray is an exceptional collectible within the world of tire memorabilia, automotive advertising collectibles, antique ashtrays, and uranium glass pieces. Compared to other tire-themed ashtrays produced by competing companies in the 1920s–40s, this example stands out for its larger “jumbo” scale, dual-material construction, and original brand slogans, features often sought by serious collectors of early automotive promotional items.
Perfect for collectors of automobilia, vintage advertising, pre-war industrial design, and uranium glass enthusiasts, this piece bridges brand history, roadside culture, and functional design in a way few promotional pieces from the era do.

Carl Erickson Green Bowl Ashtray American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Sculptural, heavy Mid Century Modern dark green glass decorative bowl or ashtray was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The bowl is decorated with controlled bubbles that are radiating from its center; four symmetrically placed indentations can serve as cigarette rests. The pontil is ground.
The bowl is in good vintage condition with some age-appropriate signs of wear on the bottom. It is unsigned, as vast majority of Ericson piece were, and is missing its sticker, but can be clearly identified by multiple printed and online catalogues and other resources.
Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical.
Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling display...
