PROMO COLLECTOR GLASS
Page
UPDATED February 28, 2004
Being a pack rat, I have interests in many collecting areas. This page will feature promotional glasses.
Sonic Drive-In 1980 Olympics
This 6" tall glass was a sample sent to Sonic managers. It was to be sold with a fountain drink at Sonic Drive-Ins (which were only in 18 States at the time) but when President Carter made the U.S. boycott the 1980 Olympics in Russia, the promotion was scrapped and only the preliminary samples were produced.
Marvel Comics IRON MAN
This is an unusual glass. I have never seen another like it or any other characters in this format to suggest a set of any kind. Size is 4-3/4" tall, 2" base and 2-1/2" across the top. A 1979 MCG copyright in white letters on back.
SPACE MOUSE
This is a tough one to find! It is on most want lists, and is one of my favorites. Just thought you might like to see it.
1981 RONALD & NANCY REAGAN
This was a limited edition produced by the Bartlett-Collins glass company in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Only nine dozen 5-1/2" tall glasses were produced: six dozen sent to the White House and three dozen distributed to company employees.
This is the card given to Bartlett-Collins employees with the glass:
