Manufacturer: State Souvenir Glasses
Neat vintage souvenir glass or souvenir collectible believed to have been made in the 1950s or 1960s. This is a frosted drinking glass or frosted tumbler for Ocean City, New Jersey (these are the only words shown on the glass). There is no manufacturer mark or other indication on the glass as to who made it. These were very popular collectibles in the mid 20th century as people traveled the country by road visiting multiple locations.
Cylindrical drinking tumbler measuring 4 7/8 inches in height, 2 5/8 inch top opening diameter. It is evenly frosted throughout the glass (vs. some of these glasses which are frosted behind the designs but become clear in other places). We've provided 3 images to try to show the intricate design. The glass decor wraps a beach scene around the piece, with people sitting on and walking the beach, with what looks like a man fly fishing in the background and a sailboat sailing on the ocean in the far distance. Ocean City, NJ is a well known summer beach area, a very popular summer vacation destination. All graphic details are done in a raised red enameling or baked-on paint.
This souvenir tumbler is in overall very nice condition, ready to use or display, with some age wear. There is a touch of red enameling missing on the "ey" in the word "Jersey", some unevenness in one line in the "N" in "Ocean" (this could be how this was made), and a number of dots of red enamel wear on the beach scene graphic, but this is not bad overall for a vintage piece (the original red enamel is 95%+ still present on this glass). When you look at the frosting on the glass in very bright light you can see there are some large spots of frosted wear on the upper part of the glass near the upper rim, mainly on the back side, with some frosting missing spots behind the words "Ocean City" and a few small areas elsewhere on the glass. This could be how this piece was made or wear due to some hard washing over the years, we don't know (we don't see scratches). Not something we think you would notice on display, but you will see this if you examine closely. There is expected evidence of age/wear on the underside base on which the glass sits.
An attractive souvenir drinking glass to add to a beach oriented collection or just a nifty piece to add to any collection of memorabilia related to Ocean City or New Jersey in particular.
If you are looking at ordering more than one of the state souvenir glasses, we recommend you contact us before placing the order so that we can provide you with a better shipping cost. We would be pleased to ship multiple glasses together in one package to save you money (the system won't automatically calculate the savings you should get shipping more than one glass together). |
