Collector Glass News Auction #55 contains
four sample or prototype glasses. These four glasses are
pictured above. The most exciting of these is the Michael
Jackson glass with the red, white, and blue circular Pepsi-Cola
logo on the back. This glass is believed to be one-of-a-kind.
No other versions similar to this have surfaced. The glass
dated to the early 1980's and was part of a promotion
that got off the ground.
The other three glasses are all early
versions of promotions that were later produced. The Pluto
and Daisy glass have similar art work to the single character
round bottom glasses that were done in the early 1980s.
The Happy Birthday Mickey artwork on these glasses was
replaced. These glasses were distributed, but different
and more elaborate artwork were used.
The Andy Panda and Miranda glasses is
a 16 oz. Brockway glass too. This artwork was later used
on two different sized versions of this set, but not on
a Brockway 16 oz. tumbler. It was also a Pepsi promotion,
although the Pepsi name nor logo appear on the glass.
These glasses are lots #1 - #4 in
the current auction.
