NORTHEAST. Home Decor, Decorative Ashtray, Souvenir, c. 1960s.
This customized cedarwood ring made to snug around an ashtray could serve as a great coaster if fitted with a round cork piece or other absorbent material. A fantastic collector’s keepsake for any New Hampshire enthusiast, it would be great for folks with a connection to the town of Moultonborough (here spelled ‘Moultonboro’), which is home to local tourist attraction ‘Castle in the Clouds’. Also known as Lucknow, this historic manor nestles on top of Lee Mountain and has provided visitors with sweeping views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossippee Mountains since the early 1900s. The American-Craftsman style mansion was designed as a grand private home, its sixteen rooms and cultivated grounds boasting cutting edge features for the era. Lucknow took the name Castle in the Clouds when it first opened to the public in 1959. Now a museum, a majority of the property is available for self-touring but presently is only accessible by trolley from the foot of Lee Mountain.
