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.
We are a bit behind the eight-ball on this one, but this past summer saw the US phase of a McDonald’s/Coke glass promotion. This promotion had various incarnations in Europe and Asia and saw the release of up to 6 different colored Coke glasses. However, in the US, it appears that only 4 different colors were distributed. Keep your eyes peeled on ebay–we’re sure they’ll all begin showing up.
