DescriptionRectangular, translucent, pressed dark grey glass ashtray or pen tray with a plain edge and sides that slope gradually to a rectangular well. The edge of the tray is decorated with a thin band of white transfer. In the center of the tray, there is a gold and white image of a stone and brick building with a geometric entryway and windows in the front. A gold eagle is printed above the doorway. The words "EAST HARTFORD/ FEDERAL/ SAVINGS" appear on the front of the building. The building is flanked by two gold trees, and there is a gold sidewalk in front. Below the building is the title, "EAST HARTFORD Federal Savings/ 3 CONVENIENT OFFICES TO SERVE YOU/ East Hartford - Glastonbury - South Windsor". To the left of this title are two small round emblems. One reads, "FEDERAL HOME LO [word partially covered by second emblem]/ BANK SY [word partially covered by second emblem]. The second round emblem reads, "FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN/ INSURANCE CORPORATION" and "SAFETY/ OF YOUR/ SAVINGS/ INSURED/ UP TO/ $10,000". The bottom of the tray has a few light scratches.
