Item Description
One of the most sought after of all Superman items is the 1942 Syroco-like wood composition figure that was designed by legendary Superman artist Wayne Boring to promote Superman to DC Comics' distributors and retailers. This came in two versions, brown w/red accents (see previous item #1768) and fully painted in red/blue costume. While both are rare, they pale in comparison to this ashtray version which is one of only three examples known to us. Overall size is 4x5.5x6.25" tall, figure itself is 5.5" and attached (as produced) to the back of the ashtray base. We have only offered one other example of this exceptionally rare item in our 50 years, the other was completely repainted. The example offered here is all original w/no repairs or restoration. Exc. A true Superman rarity, present in not even the most advanced collections.  John G. Fantucchio Collection.
