Obsolete UK Ashtrays for trade

The ashtrays below are all now obsolete for 2 reasons - firstly, the Westcliff casino and it's neighbour in Westcliff, Spielers, are now closed with the Southend Mint and Maxims occupying the location. The 3rd ashtray was made for use across all three group casinos, the Triangle being their casino in Bristol (about 200 miles west).

Of course the second reason is that with the smoking ban in the UK for casinos inside, the use of ashtrays is very limited now. Some casinos have smoking areas but not are always open and the few I have ventured into (being a non-smoker myself) have not had named ashtrays. Indeed the Westcliff, before the name change and smoking ban, had already switched to plain white ashtrays as I guess there was no point in having named ones made anymore.

So, I have these three and would ideally like to trade for other UK ashtrays, but I'm sure I could be tempted with chips that I need! I should point out that the Westcliff only ashtray has the second 'f' slightly worn away as seen in the scan if you look closely. Otherwise no chips or damage anywhere.

Thanks for looking

Jason
