Yeah, about a hundred times and more. Funny that here the ceramic mug seems to have outnumbered the glasses--I never saw one of these either. What if the mug was cheaper (as an import) than the printed glass back then?

I have that glass too, I found it in Seattle a couple years ago. My thought that it might be later, the ceramic ones got too expensive, so they brought in the glass ones in the summer of 1980. Then John Birges came along...and kaboom! The only surviving glasses are these two that were smuggled out of the bar in Great Aunt Mabel's purse.
