Two 1941 Disney Dumbo Glasses: Dumbo Flying & Dumbo and the Stork

     Glasses from the 1930's and early 1940's sets are often very difficult to complete. Many of the sets had limited distribution, limited promotion spans, and limited interests. Not to mention the fact that they were disposable containers and are fragile too! So it is no wonder that some of the early Disney sets are very scarce. The above Dumbo glasses are very unusual. I know several collectors that have a couple in their collection, but I am not aware of anyone who has a complete six glass set.
     In addition to the glasses shown above there are four others: The Gossipy Elephants, Five Black Crows, Timothy Mouse & Casey Jr. The Tomart Price Guide to Character & Promotional Glasses which has the largest list and photography of early Disney glasses, shows only a promotional flyer for these glasses. If you look closely at the flyer in the book, you will see that the glasses are actually a little different. There is an added rule line around the top and the art work has been slightly modified.
     Both of these glasses will be available in the next CGN auction closing in December.
