Shot Glasses:

Shotglass.org
is largely devoted to post repeal glasses but it contains a number of useful links and ideas about displaying shots.
|
Shot Glasses for Sale:
Flea Markets and Bottle Shows:
|
Flea
markets can be an excellent source of pre-pro's at bargain
prices for those who have the patience to sift through other
offerings. Use Google
or other favorite search engine to locate markets in your area.
|
|
The
Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors also
maintains an online
calendar that lists dates and locations of bottle shows
around the country. Antique bottle dealers can be a useful
source of pre-pro shot glasses. |
Displays:
|
Custom
Displays makes display cases for shot glasses at a very affordable
rate (I tried duplicating one and the materials alone cost me 50% of
their asking price). Their cases have a Plexiglas cover which is
essential for protecting pre-pro glasses from dust and spouses
who wish to remove it.

Many other displays and plans for making displays can be found through the
shotglass.org links page. |
Books:
There are several good places to find used books on the web. These include:
Museums:
|
When
we're talking shot-glass and pre-prohibition, there really
is only one museum and that's the Oscar Getz in Bardstown,
KY. If you have a chance, you should visit.
Although their display of shots is limited, there's plenty
to look at and lust over. For more information, see
the Getz page at www.whiskeymuseum.com

Others:
You can find more sites on brands used by the old companies and histories of the
various distillers on the Research Links page.
