I recently acquired a rose colored, flared shot glass that has a gently textured inner surface. It has the words "Tom Collins' Slow Jim" imprinted in white letters. There's also a white measuring line around the upper part of the glass. The markings are a glossy white - not etched. The glass is thin, but not quite as thin as a pre-pro. There is no manufacturer's mark on the bottom of the glass that I can discern. Well, there's a very faint mark on the bottom that could possibly be the Libby L inside a circle, but that's just a creative guess on my part. I'm thinking this glass might be from the 40's or 50's, but that's just a guess, too. I'm sure that I paid too much for it, but I bought it because I'd never seen another like it anywhere.
Does anyone have any idea what the age, origin, and value of this shot glass might be? Much thanks in advance for whatever information anyone can offer.
