05/20/2010 05:51 AM
	Shrek Set of 4 glasses at McDonalds McDonald’s has a new glass promotion for the Shrek Forever After Movie,a set of 4 glasses for $1.99 each glass, with food purchase. Available in Canada and the US. Just recently in early June 2010 these glasses were recalled by McDonalds. Buyers can get $3 each for the glasses when returned to McDonalds restaurants. Articles about these glasses stated that over 7 million were distributed, so they will still be available, although they cannot be sold on internet sites like Ebay that do not allow recalled products.

The Annual PGCA Fall Meeting
09/18/2009 08:17 PM
	It’s that time of year, again. On Sept. 25, club members (as well as non-members) will gather in Allentown, PA at the Comfort Inn Lehigh Valley West. The hotel is providing space for the gathering, as well as tables for attendees to display and sell glasses. For those of you who have not attended a meeting before, this is a tremendous opportunity to meet other collectors and pick up glasses you don’t typically otherwise see. If you are not familiar with Allentown, it is central to a number of large areas in the Mid-Atlantic region, and an easy drive from New York City, Baltimore, Harrisburg, and New Jersey. The meeting often attracts collectors from as far away as Buffalo, Boston, Indiana, Tennesee, and Florida. There are also numerous antique shows and malls in the area. It’s a great way to kick off the weekend. And remember, you do not need to be a member to attend.. Hope to see you there.
Auction Results
09/18/2009 07:50 PM
	It’s always nice to see promotional glasses get some serious attention in auctions that don’t cater just to glass collectors. Most recently, the always exciting Hakes Americana and Collectibles auction saw a prototype Gravel Gertie prototype break the $900 mark. This glass was intended to accompany the popular Domino’s Pizza Dick Tracy, but never went into production. Congrats to the lucky winner.
