Whiskey glasses

[Aqualung]

I've been following the memorabilia thread and have a side question

I've recently developed a taste for bourbon and have only 1 "old fashioned"/rocks glass. I thought it would be pretty cool to have a set of Ruger S&R logo glasses. I'd have bought "R" logo glasses when they were recently on sale @ Shop Ruger.com, but prefer the old logo.

I found a seller that wants $50 plus over $12 to ship for a set of 4. I like the old logo and all, but $16+ a glass seems a bit steep.

What are your thoughts?

Doesn't seem too bad for custom work. Compare to some of the glasses here.

Most commercial places won't do custom work using trademarked logos. If you have a vinyl sign cutter or know somebody with one cut some logos out. Lots of people use them for scrapbooking. Stick the logos on you ammo boxes etc and use the surrounding vinyl to mask the glass and sandblast the logo. Or paint it on - To bake acrylic paint on glass, place the glass in a baking pan in a cold oven, and set it to 350ºF for 30 minutes. Do not preheat the oven. To seal acrylic paint on thicker glass, let it cool for 30 minutes with the oven door open.

what should matter is how much they'd mean to you to have them. They'd obviosuly not be licensed and have any collector value but if they're to be used, it's all on that personal "worth it". The contents won't taste any different they it does from your current glasses.
Why not simply seek out one of the older SR glasses.

If you found a set of glasses with the SR logo,, and are from Ruger,, I'd say the price is actually very fair.

I think I have some of those glasses myself. (And no,, they aren't for sale!)

I've paid more than that for my glasses.

Just so folks will know what we are talking about,, here's a picture of one of mine.

Thanks for the replies. You all convinced me.

I placed my order for a set of 4, just like the one Contender posted.

The seller is on ebay and has one set left if anyone else is interested.

I'm way late but there is another option. Find someone with a craft cutter (criket comes to mind) Have them cut out your desired logo. Use the "frame" of the logo on your glass and sandblast it. Now you will have exactly what Contender illustrated.

Hmmmmm... decisions, decisions...

They came today, all in good shape.

I see a glass for each flavor.
Do a sample tasting to see of one glass is a straighter shooter than any others. Of course,, a minimum of 5 shots per group is required. So, after 20 shots you'll be able to see what is the best! Well, maybe the next day you'll be able to see!

The glass won't make the bourbon taste better. When it comes to a glass for my single malt scotch I have only one criterion. It can't leak.

I beg to differ. Give different glass shapes a try. Although I have yet to find a glass I dont like whisk(e)y out of, all shapes make it taste different.

You guys use glasses?

Only to read the label.

Something to go with your glasses.

I haven't seen the jug before. Nice!
But I had to lay down on my table to see it good.

 

[AJGUNNER]

Wouldn't it be nice is the marketing folks could come out with more items like these and a few less golfing shirts in every color.

 

[Rumrunner]

Nice grab and nice choice of fillers for them. Especially the two on the left.
Guess my timing was off, I just listed the same set in the classifieds.
Soon will be listing 50th anniversary wine glasses and 60th anniversary wine glasses.
