The reason that you are having difficulty finding the rest of the set, is that the other two
glasses are very different, and do not fit the "black americana" theme.
These glasses are a "Rumpus Set" put out by the Federal Glass Company, that originally came
as a set of four glasses in an almost square box. There are two glasses with "natives" --
"Here's looking at you" and "Down the Hatch." One of the other glasses has an almost related
theme -- a monkey riding a goat with the phrase "Bottoms Up" while the fourth has a "city"
scene -- a woman throwing a shoe at a cat with the phrase "Good Luck"
I have seen a number of these sets in their original boxes, and here is a link to a set that had
the name Miami Beach added to each glass:

: I have a question about the black americana shot glass set by Federal Glass Company. I have seen many sets that have 4 glasses but 2 of the glasses are the same. i only have 3 of the glasses so would that be a set since the 1 i am missing would be a double of 1 i have? If you no all of the glasses in this set please tell me. thanks
