This is a shot glass fluff and typo page. Thanks to collector
Roger Vaughn for enthusiastically tracking down several of these gaffes.

VERY FINE / WONMORE / WHISKEY /
J. A. Winterholder / 534W GIRARD. AVE, PHILA, PA.
|
|
Now I wonder what Mr Joseph A Winterholer had to say about this one???
|
|
|
Many of you will be familiar with the "Merry
Christmas" glasses produced every year from by Andrew M. Smith of Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
|
The business resided at 247-249 Hennepin from 1899
thru 1914, except in 1910, when
it appears to have hopped three blocks up the street to 547-549 Hennepin!!! |

The
"Old Hickory" glass at left is one of the first
I acquired when I started collecting shots. It comes
from the Breslauer Co of Milwaukee WI. I've looked
at the glass many times in the past 15 years and never
ONCE noticed the mis-spelling of
"Milwaukee". It took eagle-eyed Roger
Vaughn to point this one out to me. The most amazing
thing is that the error is duplicated on the baby
version of this shot!! |

Now here's
a nice little glass - only ever seen a couple of
these. Nice picture of a jug of K-A whiskey but hey,
wait, what's that say in teeny print on the jug's
label? |
 |
|
Hand Made
Cabinet Boubben???
..........say "oooops" Bubba! |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
So which is it "Cuban"
or "Cuben" or "Cuban"
or "Cuben"????? |
 |
You don't really need an
enlargement of the gaffe to appreciate this classic - I
wonder what the guy who ran off a gross of these glasses
was thinking as he packed and shipped them to Kansas
City?!!
Hic. |
... can we say
"lysdexia"??!
 |
 |
 |
This gaffe looks almost normal - even after having entered
5,000+ glasses into the various databases!!
In case you're wondering, it's actually spelt
"LIQUOR"....!! |
 |
Last time I
checked, it was still spelt "Indianapolis", but
whose counting "n's" anyway...! |
