Whisky items: pitchers and ashtrays
The number of whisky brands seems to be unlimited. as a result there is a large number of different designs available for collectors of pitchers and ashtrays.
other items to be collected are : change trays, matchholder/ashtrays, figures like the 'JOHNNIE  WALKER' or  'WHITE HORSE' figures for bar display, serving trays, bar towels or change mats. Interesting to note is that enamel advertising signs are almost not existing (if any)
A separate group are the small items like: key rings, small figures like scotties in plastic etc.

An excellent source with numerous pictures and background information is  "Westcott Price Guide to Advertising Water Jugs"
from David Westcott, Published March, 1991 (ISBN: 0 646 00191 6)
Prices seem to be overrated compared to the prices things make on  Ebay (compared during 3rd and 4th Quarter of 1998)
The more common pitchers are available at 50% of the prices quoted in this guide. Price levels for common jugs are normally around 30 NLG (15$) in the Netherlands on fleamarkets. Another source of information e.g. on different types of jugs, etc. is : Ebay search
