: HOW CAN I DETERMINE "VINTAGE" OF THIS ITEM. GLASS HAS SEAM ON TWO SIDES.
: I WAS TOLD IT WAS PROHIBITION ERA, BUT LACK OF WRITING ON RIM AND SEAMS CAUSE ME DOUBT. THANKS.
>>>THE ORIGINAL MCKEE B/U TUMBLERS WERE MADE 1930-33. ALL HAD SERIAL #77725 AT THE FEET OF THE NUDE--THE NEW FAKES DO NOT. ALSO, COBALT BLUE IS NOT A KNOWN ORIGINAL COLOR. FINALLY THE FAKE COASTERS ARE 1/8 IN. THICKER AT THE OUTER RIM.---HOPE THIS HELPS--EMAIL ME WITH OTHER QUESTIONS----LGHORN
