Notes:
This shot glass has an interesting history, which was related to me by the seller, Marilyn Wright. I've edited slightly for clarity "This particular glass was mine. My first husband [Glenn] had a godmother who was a total character. She owned and ran a Hotel called "The Birds & Worms" in what is called around here "White City". White City was located on the shores of Lake Ontario near Rochester, NY. They called it White City because back then people pitched very elaborate tents and stayed in them all summer. This goes back to the 20's and early 30's. Glenn's godmother left her house and all the stuff to my husband and when he died I kept alot of it, including this glass. In the bedroom of this house - under the bed, they had made a trap door, not huge, but big enough to stash booze during the prohibition. The rum runners used to bring it in from Canada..on the lake...and someone would dash out and get it....I think it is a total kick and I love the history....M"
