Yes they are collectible, no they are not very valuable.
These glasses, in their original boxes are quite common. These were probably intended to be "give aways" -- buy a bottle, get a free glass. It bseems that many bartenders or liquor store employees took them home instead of giving them away.
The C mark is actually three concetric letters - Continental Can Company)
Pickvet says these are from the fifties, and puts them in the $5-$10 range.

: Recently I found a total of 10 Gordon's London Dry Gin, 3 oz glass (nine in original boxes) in my attic. The bottom of the glass is stamped with what appears to be the letter C. The bottom of the box is printed w/Gordon's Dry Gin Company Limited, 90 proof, Linden, N.J, Plainfield, ILL. The reason I am questioning this printing is because of the abbreviation of ILL vs. IL. Is this a possible collectible? Do you know what they may be worth? Thanks for your time.
