All of these glasses are familiar from eBay, although some are more common than others. A solid bitters starter group nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"641\" src=\"http:\/\/pre-pro.com\/new_and_shotworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ABGC20190307_229.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pre-pro.com\/new_and_shotworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ABGC20190307_229.jpg 826w, https:\/\/www.pre-pro.com\/new_and_shotworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ABGC20190307_229-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pre-pro.com\/new_and_shotworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ABGC20190307_229-768x596.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lot #229 should set the blood thrumming in any dyed-in-the-wool pre-pro collector&#8217;s veins. The Dr P. at top left is a Truog glass. The Alter Bismark is a pre-pro classic picture glass &#8211; this alone is worth the opening bid. The others are just gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note, however, that Glassworks auctions charges a 20% bidder premium that have to be factored into the final bid price. Their shipping prices tend to be premium also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only need only one of these glasses, no fear, there&#8217;s a good chance the two lots will be picked up by resellers, broken up, and end up as buy-it-nows on eBay (e.g., follow seller id &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/diggerdaveb\/m.html?_ipg=50&amp;_sop=10&amp;_rdc=1\">diggerdaveb<\/a>&#8220;).   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you not yet acquainted with Glassworks auctions, you may want to bookmark their webpage because they occasionally have pre-pro shots nestled amongst their collections of bottles, jugs, and other pre-pro memorabilia.
