| This is a very cool set of Coca-Cola Glasses. This set consists of two (2) bell shape glasses with the Coca-Cola script in red and two (2) pewter holders with a die cut Coca-Cola script on the base of the holders. These glasses will provide the finishing touch to your table by adding a little bit of simple elegance! A little bit of Coke history on how the pewter holders came about: The Silver Glass Holder with the Coco-Cola Logo was made available to soda fountains in the early 1900’s until about 1904. They were made for the straight sided (many non-logo) glasses during that time period help prevent breakage due to the glass being extremely thin and would break when set down. These Coca-Cola Glass Holders not only prevented breakage but considered to be a very elegant item; they appeared in some of the ads of that time period. It’s assumed that the holders were discontinued because the soda fountain operators thought the cost of 5 cents each was too expensive! |
