ya...i have never seen one b4 ether "2000 shot glasses here" at the least....i would think it is worth 10-15 bucks......but could be worth alot more to the right person. shot glasses r worth all diff prices to diff ppl.....just depends on what they r looking for. i would try lookin it up on ebay.....that might give ya more of an idea....hope that helps.
: I recently acquired a rose colored, flared shot glass that has a gently textured inner surface. It has the words "Tom Collins' Slow Jim" imprinted in white letters. There's also a white measuring line around the upper part of the glass. The markings are a glossy white - not etched. The glass is thin, but not quite as thin as a pre-pro. There is no manufacturer's mark on the bottom of the glass that I can discern. Well, there's a very faint mark on the bottom that could possibly be the Libby L inside a circle, but that's just a creative guess on my part. I'm thinking this glass might be from the 40's or 50's, but that's just a guess, too. I'm sure that I paid too much for it, but I bought it because I'd never seen another like it anywhere.
: Does anyone have any idea what the age, origin, and value of this shot glass might be? Much thanks in advance for whatever information anyone can offer.
