Regular thick Brockway white and black letter - Slow Poke, Henery Hawk and then Tasmanian Devil are the hardest to find. same with Federal thin black letter. Federal white letter is as you said only 14 glasses - missing Slow Poke, Henery Hawk,
Foghorn Leghorn, Cool Cat. and I do not know which ones are the hardest there. In the Federal thin LOGO UNDER set the absolutely hardest glass to find is Petunia Pig, then probably both Slow Poke and Henery Hawk. ALL of the small 5 inch thick Brockway logo on the side glasses are hard to find, with perhaps Sylvester being a real hard one and I don't know if anyone has ever found a 5" small thick Brockway Logo on the side Tweety.
How many glasses in the Warner Brothers set from the 70's?
There were two main sets made from the Warner Brothers characters in the 70's, the Interaction set, which has 24 different glasses, and what is known as the Warner Brothers 1973 set, which has 18 or more (up to 110+) glasses in the set. Both had Pepsi logos. These glasses were originally made for the Carrolls' fast food chain in the east coast, and then other restaurants across the US used the glasses in promotions. Characters were added and different glass blanks were used throughout the length of the promotion.
How many different Characters were in the same set?
Eighteen. Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Road Runner are the first and primary group of six. Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Wile Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Speedy Gonzalez and Cool Cat are the second group of six. Petunia Pig, Pepe Le Pew, Beaky Buzzard, Tasmanian Devil, Henery Hawk and Slow Poke Rodriques comprise the third group of six glasses. These characters were placed on several different type of glass blanks, and with two different letter colors, black and white, and with two different placements of the Pepsi logo, on the side of the glass (LOS) and at the bottom of the glass, underneath the character (LUN for logo under name). The glass blanks were tall 16oz Brockway glasses, tall 16oz Federal glasses, medium size 14oz Federal glasses, small 12 oz Brockway glasses and small 12 oz Federal glasses. The Brockway glasses are thick, tapered, without a discernible rim. The Federal glasses are thinner, and straight up and down, with a noticeable beaded safedge rim. The small 12 oz Brockway LOS black letter glasses and some of the medium 14 oz Federal LUN black letter glasses are considered to be the hardest to find. In many areas, especially the East Coast, the third group of glasses, with Slow Poke, Henery Hawk and Tasmanian Devil, is harder to find. Millions and millions of the Warner Brothers glasses were made, and many collectors have or are getting started collecting with this great set. Collecting the entire set of all variations is one of the ultimate challenges! In 2007 some very rare short Warner Brothers glasses with Pepsi logos have surfaced with other characters, like Slow Poke Rodriques. These may be samples or prototypes.
The combinations are as follows:
tall 16oz Brockway LOS black letters
- all 18 characters.
tall 16oz Brockway LOS white letters
- all 18 characters.
tall 16oz Brockway LUN black letters
- primary group (6).

- all 18 characters.
tall 16oz Federal LOS white letters
- only 14 different, missing Slow Poke, Henery Hawk,
Foghorn Leghorn, Cool Cat.
med. 14oz Federal LUN black letters
- theoretically all 18.
small 12oz Federal LUN black letters
- primary group (6).
small 12oz Brockway LUN black letters
- primary group (6).
