Art Deco Mobil Gas Pegasus Executive Ashtray

About the Item

1930's Art Deco Mobil Gas Pegasus Metal Ashtray This striking 1930s Art Deco metal Mobil Gas Pegasus ashtray is a fantastic piece of vintage advertising and design. The sculptural form showcases a beautifully detailed Pegasus in mid-flight, dramatically rising from a rugged cliffside. Cast entirely in metal, the piece is both functional and decorative, with a wide ashtray base and its original felt bottom, which remains intact despite some expected wear. During the early 20th century, ashtrays were a popular form of advertising merchandise, particularly in the 1930s and 1940s, when companies sought to incorporate stylish and durable branding into everyday objects. The Mobil Pegasus, an iconic symbol of speed, power, and progress, was a hallmark of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company (later Mobil), making this piece a coveted collectible for both automobilia and tobacco memorabilia enthusiasts. These ashtrays were often displayed in executive offices and homes, blending Art Deco elegance with practical use. The Pegasus design, known for its fluid motion and strong lines, perfectly captures the spirit of the era’s industrial and artistic advancements. A true piece of vintage advertising history, it is a must-have for collectors of Art Deco metalwork, Mobil memorabilia, and early 20th-century promotional items.
