Eddie Sahati and nis numb nuts neanderthal brother, Nick, came from the Bay Area. The family had a number of business interests there.

This ashtray is probably from late 40's so just a link to what Harold Smith called "The World's Greatest Gambler" in reference to Eddie Sahati.

In his book, "I Want To Quit Winner's" he details many of Eddie's gambling feats. This included the worst losing streak he had ever witnessed. It's a great read and the book is easy to find and cheap on most book sites such as abebooks...
