A challenge for classic33

[classic33]

Glass collecting. One from each pub I go to, if possible.

 

[classic33]

Is it only Guinness you collect?

Collecting branded glasses is all very well, but to collect those humble and obscure, rare glasses means that one cannot limit oneself!

Unless it's odd.

You've done it again!

Unless it's odd.

This was odd, it was VERY odd, in fact, it was odder than Bill Oddie!

Oh and I bought an ER 324 (Gateshead) half pint glass off Ebay for £1 earlier (I already have a Gateshead 323 or two).

It is all clouded though, (so I can't see the stamp properly in the pics to see if it is Edward VII or Elizabeth II, I'll have to wait and see it when it arrives) but it might be put into occasional use if it is so 'past it'.

For £1 you can't go wrong (There is also another 323 in better condition currently at 99p).

Elizabeth! Elizabeth Regina

There is also this aforementioned 323, but it has a week to go and, well, I already have one.

I'll see.

It is George 5th by the way (the angular crown gives it away):

Elizabeth! Elizabeth Regina

Thought it was, but it is also Edward Rex isn't it?? (G.R. too).

Looking at the crown, I think it is Liz though, so probably not all that old.

Looks like it'll be used then!

The other possibility is Edward VIII

Looks like a crack in the handle, or a heavy scratch

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I was wondering if Edward VIII lasted long enough to get his own version?

I have never knowingly seen one, and have always assumed they would be as rare as a Pokemon nobody wants

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

No changes were authorised in time apparently, so it went straight from George V to George VI

By the way Classic, I see there are these reproductions of.... Well, normal glasses.

I think they have used 568 (Scottish Highlands, and a number I haven't seen) as a pint is 568ml, but still, they seem nice and soon will no doubt flood Ebay, confusing people like me!!:

Maybe we should suggest they correctly stamp and number the half pint as '284' (Caerphilly)?

Owt like this? Someone made off with my welly.

They do that, you'd get your "Welsh" one.

I clearly missed that bit.
