| Description: You
are viewing a very handsome vintage bar set that consists of seven
items: an ice bucket and six glasses. They are decorated with
wonderful sample coins of gold and black. The gold coins read:
United States of America-Twenty Dollars / Liberty-with the Liberty Lady /
1866 - with the Liberty Lady / United States - Twenty Dollars-with an
Eagle. The Black coins read: Australia -1944 - penny- with a
Kangaroo / E. Pluribus Unum - 1820 / Republica Ligure Annoa - L' 96 /
Liberty Lady - 1858. Each item is marked with three concentric
"C"s on the bottom, for the Hazel Atlas Glass division of the
Continental Can Company. I believe that this set is from the late
1950's or 60's. This is a very unique vintage American bar set that
would be great for impressing and entertaining your guests.
