Description
Up for auction/sale is a vintage 4oz wine/cordial cocktail glass featuring gold and enamel renditions of an early steam engine, coal car, B&O box car, and two coach cars encircling the glass with a golden rim. I tried to date this, and found a few other examples, but only referenced to MCM, vintage, and 50s/60s.Rather you collect railroad memorabilia in general or B&O (Baltimore - Ohio) items in particular, this would make a great addition and/or accent to anyone's collection.
The glass is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks, and only very minimal signs of age or wear to the glass or artwork, but there is one scratch on the top side of the base, but I believe this is a manufacturing flaw, as I see no way to scratch the glass in this location. Regardless, it's not readily visible and it does not affect the display or integrity of the glass whatsoever.
The rough overall measurements are 3 7/8" tall, has a 2 7/8" rim, a 2 3/8" footed ball base, and holds 4oz of your favorite concoction.
I have described this glass as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images of the glass from varying angles, to allow for detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability. I have also included several picture with a black sock inside the glass in an attempt to best contrast the gold and white enamel artwork.
This will be packaged with care to best ensure this beautiful piece from the past arrives as pictured and described.
