In Reply to: Original vs. Reproduction "bottom's up" glasses posted by Kurt Byfield on May 24, 2001 at 16:21:39:
The quick answer is that the originals have writing (the patent number) molded into the rim, while the reproductions do not have writing. I know that I had a good reference on these, but moved recently and cannot find anything :(
The original manufcturer was McKee -- I have found some links in the past by searching for
mckee +"bottoms up"
in the various search engines
Hope this helps

: Can anyone either tell me, or direct me to a source of information on these glasses? I know they're being remade, but aside from that, I don't know much on them
: Are there colors which are distinctive to the originals? or perhaps some markings?
: Thanks
