Butlin's Beachcomber Bar souvenir Ashtray
On the front it is marked "Butlin's Beachcomber Bar Souvenir" and features an illustration of the Butlin's Beachcomber signature tiki.
This tiki was designed by the Uncle of the British Lowbrow artist Vince Ray.
The rear is marked "Durability Weathersby Hawley England - Royal Falcon Ware"
A slightly larger of this ashtray exists but is only marked "Butlins Beachcomber Bar" suggesting that it was the type used in-house where as this is the smaller souvenir available for guests to buy.
