Should I be worried?

Glass collecting is reasonably cheap (so far), you have something that is useful, you can use them in a variety of situations and you can drink anything you damn well like from them! What is not to like?

I used to collect mugs, so I know.

The link is the glass spotting one, not the link to the numbers(Glass Collecting).

There's a bloke near me who used to have a Land Rover 101 on his drive.

It filled the space between the posts so that he had to squeeze past it.

My mate from work had one of those, with an LPG conversion to partially offset the cost of its thirst.

Luckily with the CE numbers, it is much easier these days.....


Anyway, I have still to find a 'six hundred' a 'seven hundred' a 'nine hundred' a 12xx, 14XX...... Actually, everything between 1370 (Derbyshire) and 2043 (umm.... yeah, that one....).

Still collecting though, not noting down in a book where you saw it.
Ravenhead have stopped making beer glasses anyway.

Oh and my favourite by a country mile so far is my King George V 589 (Brent).

Lovely little thing it is (it is a half pint, but is tiny), and it is from one of the 'Cancelled' numbers too

Actually, I saw a Guinness branded 2043 still being used in The Stag's Head pub in Dumbarton East not so long ago.
I might have 'rescued' it, but I have several in the house already!

Thank **** for that - If the 2043s' are the seagulls of the beer glass world, then those Ravenhead 478s' trully are the pigeons!!


The best thing to do with a 478 is simply smash it, I mean, if there was a nuclear apocalypse, all the survivors would be left drinking out of would be 478s'!!

Just a CIE Guinness set to get then!

Don't temp me!

I am sitting here drinking out of a 76 (Manchester), another that is as common as muck, and, I managed to smash a 414 (Derbyshire) earlier, but that is no great loss seeing as it is fairly common too.

 

[classic33]

Yeah I mean, those Cyclists, right bunch of wierdos and reprobates, the lot of them!!

We're not all that bad!

Yes they are, you especially!!

I quite like the sound of the beer can emptying hobby. As for me, I'm currently collecting punctured and patched inner tubes.

You ought to start a thread discussing the meaning of those beer glass numbers.

 

[Puddles]

The crown is the government stamp although there are changes planned in 2007 to move to a CE mark. Every Weights and Measures Inspector has their own unique number (like a police officer) and the number below the crown could be that of a particular officer but is usually the number of the officer who is responsible for that factory/premises. I am inspector 415 and in Derbyshire we used to have a a glass factory where we used the number 414 as that officer was responsible for the factory. The same applies to the optics, also to petrol pumps and other equipment.

Why?

Sadly, I fear none of us will make it into "Men of Acheivement" on this basis.
