DaveAMKrayoGuy’s Favorite Glass R.I.P.

[daveamkrayoguy]

It’s old but still sturdy and it seemed like too many things shoved in the dishwasher caused this chip on the top and the crack to form along its side:

So I would surely like a new one like it to possibly replace…

Sorry, Dave.
That's pretty cool, with the baseball detail in the bottom! I've never seen one like that before.

Gave a bunch of those away (san the baseball emblem) to a local thrift shop back in 2019. Got them from my grandparents in 2003 and sat in the attic for 16 years until I was cleaning things out and realized I'd never get around to using them. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

check out the kitch ware dept of any good thrift store. They usually have shelves and shelves of superfluous, mismatched glassware.

Do an Ebay search of vintage clear glass highball tumbler and add brands like Libbey or Eames etc. It'll take a while with all the glasses listed but you may find a whole set.

I saw glassware similar to this when I was in Wasserstrom restaurant supply back in December. Probably have to buy a full carton, though. Another place to try is Midwest Glassware Outlet in Logan, OH (SE of Columbus); they had a good selection when I was there about 4 years ago, and sell by the piece.

Looks like baseball

stitiching. Maybe a Detroit Tiger glass from a promoter or gas station?

Yes that's my guess although nothing denoting any specific team, and it's origins of how I even got it are unknown... It's actually stuck away in its place in the cupboard and I will just not use, only semi-ceremoniously save, as I commemorate its glory of drinking from its ideal parameters and size but mostly mourn...
