These are "yard" beerglasses but they are only 18" tall . The one in the middle was made by Royal Sealy Japan which is famous for pottery and china dishes, saucers and other more traditional items. It has a 25/67 mark on the bottom which probably means it was part of a very small production.The one on the right is labled Rumpe Minze and the left is Heineken. There are actual glasses that are a yard tall. Yard glasses of beer go back to the 17th Century.
I really appreciate your help! I have to still get everything out of the house, but as soon as I do, I will take some pictures (it may take a couple of weeks) I just hate the thought of items being tossed when someone might get some joy out of them. I will touch base with you as soon as I have everything gathered. Thanks again and I will talk to you soon!
The big money glasses are in pre prohibition glasses . On what to do with them? Of course I would think its smart to keep them. beer glass ware is not the high dollar collectible but unless I know what you have its hard to say. I have several AB glasses with prices all over the board. I would love to see pictures of them - I was checking out that Royal Sealy glass on Ebay to if there another one and I found the exact same glass only in a 9" high version. I bought it for 14.99. It will look great next to my half yard glass. Would it possible to see pictures of your grandmothers glasses.? I will tell you history on glassware can be difficult to find. Some glasses have a story. Some history is more difficult to find. anyway let me see what you have.
I don't have any numbers on the bottom that I can see - just the Royal Sealy Japan sticker. It has been in my grandmothers basement bar since I can remember (and that would be at least 40 years) - as well as different beer glasses - just wanted to see if I could find any history on it. Love your collection! My dad worked at A-B for 20 some-odd years and collected many items. Do you think it would be smart of me to keep the old glasses from my grandparents? I have no idea about worth, but I have to clean out her house and I have no idea what to do with them. Any thoughts are appreciated! :) Thanks!
I have tried to find out. Look on the bottom and see if there is a number that looks like a fraction. My hope and my guess is that they only made 67 and mine is number 25 . That is probably not the case its probably some production mark. Does yours have a number stamped -in black I think- like that -and could you tell me what it is.?
I have the same Royal Sealy Japan one that you have. Do you have any idea what it is worth?
