Something I have been wondering about for ages, but

[classic33]

I know.

Now, if they only had logos on to collect....

Guinness over the years.

Not that many charity shops serve Guinness down here though!

Those are nice . Victorian pressed glass is fascinating, I used to collect it a bit. Once there was a cheaper way of making sparkly decoration on glass than by cutting it, the designers went completely overboard and put loads of it all over the place. Those handles look really uncomfortable.

Excruciating enough to make me think they were commissioned by the temperance movement.

If they were then surely they would have been designed to slip out of your hand and smash??

You're missing Harp, Murphy's, Beamish, and most important of all where's the numbers for the glasses! That Kilkenny one should be CIE.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That Kilkenny one should be CIE.

Now there's a point, there is one on Fleabay apparently numbered 74 95. That makes no sense!

Oh dear, I can imagine that happening here!!
I have been looking out for numbers as a pose to logos and so on, so I have a long way to go yet to match yours!
