In Reply to: Germany: Nested Glass: Worth: Age posted by Jim on September 25, 2006 at 17:14:38:
Because the glasses are different sizes, these are the "old style" (newer glasses use all of the same size) but "old style" does not guarantee old. I do not know of any modern production of the "old style" cups.
The "old style" disappeared between World War One and World War Two.
The value depends on three things
1) material: stainless steel is worth less than silver
2) manufacturer: A manufacturer marking is possibly worth more than no maker's mark
3) leather: condition of the leather
These sets start around $20

: I have a set of 4 nested shot glasses--different sizes--material is metal--says "Germany" on bottom of each glass. Comes in leather case that says "Made in Germany." Does anyone know the history and value of this set?
