I know John Galt hasn't posted in several yrs but I've been going back thru this thread & enjoying his collection. Just had to bring this one of his forward...what a shot glass! Never seen one like it.
1950's shot glass set from the Federal Glass CO's Sportsman's Series. Each set came with a Canvasback, Grouse, Ring Necked Pheasant, & a Canada Goose each with a silver platinum rim. Besides shot glasses, sets were available in Rocks, Pilsners, & Tom Collins tumblers. I have Rocks & Pilsners also. I have seen a few wine goblets but have never seen a cordial, flute or shooter from the Sportsman Series.
That is a nice glass. I still see the decanters around from time to time, but not many glasses.Very cool Jack! I have some odd pieces of that found here and there.
Getting ready to fill (well ... maybe not fill) this Old Crow glass. Not sure of age. Pre-1987 I think as that was when National Distillers (since 1924) was bought out. Excuse the lousy pics.

I like the Schenley & the Ancient Age. That Schenley Whiskey has to be rare. Paint still looks good on both.Found these mid-50's era glasses at a local flea market that had them priced for a quarter a piece and 20% off booth-wide.

Vintage glasses with a flared rim were usually religious communion glasses. Modern juice glasses sometimes have a flared rim too.Typical shot glass, nothing fancy. Probably from the 1930s.
Helps me to "portion control" myself.

With something a little stronger than grape juice, I hope!interesting! I guess I'll be seeking salvation from my little shot glass then
Looks like churches are just ordering Flared Shot Glass Shooters in bulk from barware companies... just repackaging them at the church supply warehouse.Vintage glasses with a flared rim were usually religious communion glasses. Modern juice glasses sometimes have a flared rim too.
Toothpick holders are often confused with shots glasses.Looks like churches are just ordering Flared Shot Glass Shooters in bulk from barware companies... just repackaging them at the church supply warehouse.

Seeing some of this style with screened liquor store addresses no zip code with 3 digit and four digit phone numbers on them and cartoons / pinups on them as well so I might try to pick up a couple of those!

Check out this Ruby Flash EAGP whiskey glass. Ruby Flash was very popular during the tavern days of the 1890's.
