For your consideration are these porcelain ashtrays from Hamm's Beer Co. and Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Coronation ashtray. Theodore Hamm Brewing Company was established in 1865 when Theodore Hamm, a German immigrant, inherited the Excelsior Brewery from his friend and business associate, A. F. Keller. Keller had constructed his brewery over artesian wells in a section of the Phalen Creek valley in St. Paul, Minnesota known as Swede Hollow. During Prohibition, the company survived by producing soft drinks and other food products, enabling it to expand rapidly through acquisitions after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. From 1933 until 1965, Hamm's saw much success becoming the "fifth largest brewery in the nation by the 1950s." The coronation of Elizabeth II as queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms took place on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey in London. There are four ashtrays in this collection showing good solid construction and fantastic decoration to the three beer advertising ashtrays and wonderful craftsmanship from Aynsley England Bone China. The condition of these ashtrays are good with no obvious signs of damage and in good overall condition. The measurements of these ashtrays are 3/4" x 5 1/2" x 4 3/4" and 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" x 6 3/4"
