This glass caught my eye for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Isaac Mansbach & Co. hailed from my old stomping grounds of Philadelphia, PA<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mansbach & Co. were in business under this name from 1897 to 1914 and left us a handful of interesting glasses. The images in the database are poor and need updating, but the “Ten Years Old<\/a>” glass is a beauty and lives in one of my top 1% cases. Another Mansbach glass<\/a> appears to be the handiwork of George Truog, although there is no signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone familiar with Truog’s work will also recognize the label on the Millionaires Club glass shown here to be one of his also. The flower-and-wreath design is a classic Truog, as is the small design located between “Fine Old” and “Whiskey.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find interesting is that a similar flower-an-wreath design appears on two gold Thos. Pollard glasses, one of which is shown below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pollard was based in Pittsburgh, PA<\/a>. Did Truog produce these glasses also? Gold labels are extremely rare. Aside from the Pollard whiskies, I only know of four others, all Shriner glasses. Three from the Syria Temple<\/a> of Pittsburg, PA. the other a Hermann Loge<\/a> of Philadelphia, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Millionaires Club glass shown above<\/a> was listed for sale by eBay seller hear_2<\/a><\/em> and it fetched $70 in a “best offer” deal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
