Collector
Glass News continues their tradition of bringing rare and unusual
glasses to auction. CGN auction #61 featured two Pepsi
sample glasses that never were put into production. The first
glass is a DC Comics Superman glass that is part of a larger set
of Superman glasses. Each glass depicts one of Superman's extraordinary
abilities. This glass is faster than a speeding bullet. The back
side shows a revolver with Superman out running the bullet. There
are five different glasses known in the set [speeding bullet,
breaking chains, more powerful than a locomotive, leap tall buildings,
and man of steel]. Speculation is that there is a sixth glass
- X-Ray Vision although no copies are known to exist at this time.
The example shown has a Brockway sample sticker on the bottom
too.
The
second glass is another from the 1977 Pepsi Terrytoons set. The
character is Little Roquefort. Auction #61 also includes an original
Pepsi & Pete glass from the 1940s.
