Is anyone interested in seeing these?
My grandfather, (Guy Morris) was a glass designer and worked at Bartlett-Collins Glass Company from probably the beginning, 1914. I know that he was there in 1922 because that’s when my mother was born. He retired there and passed away before I was born in 1957.
He specialized in glass painting and I still have several of his works and prototypes. Here are two of his shot glasses.
The first is a picture of a Scotty dog on one side and the other side has written:
“Dear Dorothy;
Hate Oz, Took the shoes,
Find your own way home!”
It is 23/8 inches high with USA and 63 stamped on the bottom.
The other glass is what I understand, a campaign glass.
It reads:
“Welcome to the Press
“Francess Hutt Dewey Day”
Sapulpa Okla.
THE GLASS CENTER OF THE GREAT SOUTHWEST”
It is 2 inches high with nothing stamped on the bottom.
Thank you,
Bill
