I have picked up a couple different Coke glasses, one that I saw pictures on the internet awhile ago, think it was from overseas maybe, is clear, with impressed graphics - 5 olympic rings, and London 2012 on both sides near the bottom, and the McD arch very small on the bottom underneath. I think this was from an olympic soccer glasses set from McD for 2012 Olympics.
The next Coke glass is Nagano 1996 in gold with gold flower and gold Coke bottle, refreshing the Olympic Spirit in gold, and on back, Enjoy Coca-Cola in white.
The last is White and Red letters, Coca-Cola on back and HAVE A CLACK! PSSSHT! AAAHH! in white and red block letters with some carbonation bubbles and a bottle cap near the CLACK! - panelled sides half way up the glass.
The first and last were good deals at thrift shops, the Nagano glass was kind of expensive at a pawn shop. It averages out I guess. I am not real familiar with Coke glasses, definitely the PSSSHT glass was one I had not seen before and I assume it is pretty new issue. I'm going to take one of each to the PA meeting for show and tell. Also will try to take a picture of them for the database, if I cannot find them by searching the DB.
I also found some Jesters Mirth is King glasses - a pretty obscure thing, but actually in demand amongst collectors of Mason stuff. And two glasses probably from the 1960's with Purdue Pete and CARY HALL - a dormitory at Purdue University, in West Lafayette, IN where my son stayed for two years when he was at purdue. I have been going to shops and thrift stores, so have found some interesting glasses, I was taking a break for awhile but have got back into the habit of shopping for glasses, which mainly has been fun - that is the idea!
