Note the non-smooth top edge of this glass. That usually means that this was not made to be used for drinking, so this is not a shotglass..
This is a toothpick holder.
It is impossible to tell which state this is from -- they were a popular souvenir at many fairs.
As a toothpick holder, I am not sure of the value, but I have seen similar ones at antique stores for around $20.

: I was wondering if anyone could give me any info on a shotglass my mother has been holing on to. All it says is "1908 State Fair". No mention of which state.
: Links to pictures are listed below. Any info (origin, value, etc) would be appreciated.
