Re: Glidden

Very interesting, were they made for children and what year were they made?

Re: Glidden

Judging by the size of the glass, the other pieces in this line, and the quantity of Menagerie I've seen over the years, I'd say it wasn't intended just for children. It's an adult size tumbler. Margaret Carney in her book on Glidden reports that ads were first seen in the NY Times in 1948.

Re: Glidden

This is really great, Mike. Were all of the tumblers in this line decorated with a hippo?
