I just didnt want to let you Gals down . predictable but reliable and really satisfying .jp  :hi:

It is considered uncouth to boast about ones own attributes jp,  but in this case, we will take your word for it!

Now, back to the glasses.....I think they may well be 1930's.

Now, back to the glasses.....I think they may well be 1930's.

 :thup: Thank you, Rosie     I think they probably are.  IMHO the 'ladies of a certain age' on here would find them too small for supping their 'snowballs' - or any other cocktail, come to that!   We expect much more for our money these days, don't we girls? 

Perhaps ladies were satisfied with less in the '30's?   Was that the case, John?  :ooh:

Heh heh!!  I'm not sure John will know the answer to that one....I understand he was too old even then!!! :24:

I do keep trying to get this back on track!!  :usd:

Christine - I love those murano? cocktail sticks!
Once of a day drinking alcohol was such a glamorous affair - beautiful glassware,  cocktails with fabulous fun sticks, gorgeous decanters - whatever happened! Now it's all drinking out of bottles and artificial coloured drinks with god knows what in them

HI, I am pretty sure that the glasses are by Stuart Crystal.  Bill Millar wrote a series of articles for the Glass Cone on glasses featuring cockerels and very similar glasses appear in Issue no. 100 (Autumn 2012).  They apparently made some 100 different cockerel glass items from 1927-1938 and his article shows the same style glass with slightly different cockerel designs.

Now back to the innuendo .....
