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 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. Entire piece has been professionally repainted in colors that match near perfectly to the original and o/w has no repairs and is Exc. In our last auction we offered an original state version of this ashtray, which sold for $6,749. The winning bidder of that piece has now consigned this example to us and this particular ashtray is the actual example shown in the "Official Price Guide To Pop Culture Memorabilia" by Ted Hake.  A must have for the serious Superman collector.
