Shot of the Week

Here's another that raised eye-brows. Roger Vaughn couldn't give one of these away for $25 just over a year ago and the previous record was $30. xxxtruk reset the bar for a Kricks this past week: it's now at a hefty $66.09! If truth be told, reverse-etched glasses tend to be valued higher than the plain-etched variety so they're always worth going out on a limb for, but leaves and acorns were certainly smacking someone in the face on this one.

If you've been paying attention, you'll have noticed that xxxtruk has been unusually active these past few weeks and his sniper barrel must be dangerously hot. Here's another that he snatched in the final seconds, leaving oldwhiskey spitting mud. It's a rare glass from Southern Distilling of VA: this is the first example of one of these glasses I've seen. He did have to pay $66.50 to take it home though - call it "oldwhiskey tax".

So what's the deal Kurt? Someone leave you some serious glass $$?

We'd LOVE to help you spread it around a little..... :-)

Two NICE enamels come under the hammer recently. junkmoney predictably took the Korbel's off Paul Van Vactor's hands for a modest $150.53, although for sake of accuracy, we have to note that Bill redefined the standard for these glasses (see the SOTW archives), while steelglass walked off with this great WWW Rye from Angelo Myers of Philly for $168.50.

Pre-Pro Whiskey Shot Glass, Sunny Brook Whiskey

PRE-PRO ENAMEL "OLD FISHERMAN"(RYE CINCINNATI)

	Pre-Pro Whiskey Shot Glass, Sunny Brook Whiskey "This is a top of the line shot glass with a great graphic. The glass is in mint condition with strong etching. It'll be a while before another one of this condition comes along." Offered by rsmisek for only $25.00! Well it is in great condition - we may have to wait for at least 7 days before getting the chance to bid on another of these!!
Now here's a real dog, although it doesn't appear to have been trained to sit and beg for a biscuit. It's another enamel glass which, in mint condition, is worth around $150 (but see the junkmoney caveat). This one is not mint, and comes with a story attached to it, although not the "one that got away" story you might expect of a fisherman. The seller apparently bought two of these at an estate sale and tried to pass them off to a local collector for $150 apiece. But when the glasses turned up at the collector's door, they turned out to have had 1/2-an-inch or so ground off the rim. The result is a glass that looks like it was deprived of proper nutrition during puppyhood. Needless to say, the collector sent them back with a "thanks but no thanks" note attached. The seller insists they were made that way (maybe this is a "one that got away story after all"!), but what do YOU think? Can we say "woof"?
	PRE-PRO ENAMEL "OLD FISHERMAN"(RYE CINCINNATI) I have a pre-pro,clear,thin,clear glass,1/3/4"tall shot glass for OLD FISHERMAN (RYE FREIBERG & KAHN CINCINNATI).This is a new shot on the market place just this month found at an estate sale in Northern Ky.I don't have Barbara Edmonson Historic Shotglasses but am told this is different then that listing.The white enamel turns light blue on the bottom half of FISHERMAN.The only problem is a small inside lip flake at the OL in OLD and some minor roughness around the rim when rubbed with finger.
