Vintage Copacabana Bakelite Ashtray

Own a rare piece of legendary Manhattan nightlife with this authentic Vintage Copacabana Bakelite Ashtray from the iconic Copacabana nightclub at 10 E. 60th St., N.Y.C.

A true artifact of mid-century New York, this original Copacabana ashtray embodies the glamour and energy of one of America’s most famous nightclubs. Established in 1940, the Copacabana welcomed cultural icons ranging from Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. to Marilyn Monroe and world champion boxers. This ashtray once sat amid white tablecloths, live orchestras, and cigarette smoke swirling beneath nightclub lights.

Crafted in glossy black Bakelite, the ashtray features bold cream lettering with the club’s name prominently displayed around the base and its historic Manhattan address molded along the rim. The stepped, sculptural cigarette rests and deep center well give it a distinctly architectural, mid-century modern presence.

Today, it serves not only as functional barware but as an exceptional piece of New York City memorabilia, vintage nightclub decor, and mid-century collectible advertising.

A striking addition to any curated bar, luxury office, hospitality collection, or automobilia and entertainment memorabilia display.
