I have listed a little selection of souvenir drinking tumblers from the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1938.
These would have been purchased by visitors to the site - and some were also engraved with the names of buyers or their friends on the back.
They are of a regular shape and all have matched designs featuring an image entitled An Clachan. These ones are all roughly about 2 3/4 inches in height - and with a diameter at the top of 2 1/4 inches (7 x 5.5 cm). The glass is quite fine - and the decoration is an applied white opaque transfer image showing a popular site you could visit at the showground.
Three have names engraved on the back, as photographed. This just adds a bit of extra historical interest to the glasses.
Given that these rather delicate tumblers are now 85 years old it is remarkable that they have survived. Many have been broken over the decades and they are now getting rather hard to find - especially like my ones - which have no chips or cracks - and the images are all still intact.
This lot is being sold as a lot of four wee nip or shot glasses, I am pricing them at £10 for each glass - which is a fair price - and your postage will only be £4.95 with Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. Probably UK posting only - as they are quite fragile items to ship further afield.
Taken photographs for your inspection. They are Code B selection - the ones in the photographs are the ones that will be sent to you.
