Vintage Australia Souvenir Ashtray | Metal Travel Collectible

A classic piece of mid-century travel nostalgia.

This vintage metal Australia souvenir ashtray features traditional travel-era graphics celebrating Australia as a destination. Made during a time when souvenir ashtrays were popular keepsakes, this piece reflects the charm of mid-century tourism and global travel culture.
