Vintage 1971 Royal London “The Last Gasp” Cordless Electric Coughing Ashtray with its original box. This quirky novelty gag was sold as an anti-smoking desk accessory — when a cigarette was stubbed out, the ashtray would “cough” loudly in protest.
Details:
• Year: 1971
• Maker: Royal London Ltd., NYC
• Model: The Last Gasp Coughing Ashtray
• Material: metal and plastic
• Power: one penlight battery (not included)
• Size: approx. 4.5” square
• Condition: Ashtray is in excellent cosmetic condition with a clean battery compartment. Tested but does not function (no coughing sound when pressed). Original box is included with bright graphics, some edge/shelf wear, and writing on one side.
Collector Notes:
These vintage gag items are very hard to find, especially boxed. Even non-working, this ashtray is a unique piece of 1970s novelty and tobacco memorabilia, perfect for display, collection, or as a repair project.
