I've seen red ones with "BIGSHOT" and "LITTLESHOT" for the two different sizes, along with the XX's filling out the space. They look JUST like the green glass ones on the left. The bottom said SOMEthing like "Sureshot XXXX", but I think only 4 X's. Anybody want me to go back and check and/or get 'em all for them? ARE they Trader Vic's when they're just glass and no ceramic? There were some 6-8 biggies, and 6-8 little guys. (I'm not dying to own a whole set myself, but I'll keep one or two if they really were used at TV's.)
