The picture shows three views around this Old Peru Indiana Advertising Souvenir Ruby Shot Glass. The glass is not dated like many but these were a popular souvenir item in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The glass has a ruby color top section and a clear lower section. It is engraved as follows:

PERU, IND.

The glass measures 2-3/8'' tall. It is in excellent to near mint condition with a few tiny scratches in the red area as pictured. Below here are a few facts about Peru, Indiana:

Cole Porter, songwriter was born in Peru, and is buried there in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

The town's name is pronounced ''PEE-roo'', unlike the South American nation of Peru.

The asteroid 32570 Peruindiana, discovered August 21, 2001, is named for Peru.

Peru was the winter headquarters for several famous circuses, including Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey, Wallace and others. (Peru shared the notoriety of winter headquarters for some of these circuses with Baraboo, Wisconsin.) The International Circus Hall of Fame is located in Peru, Indiana. Annually during the third weekend of July, the Peru Amateur Circus holds performances for the whole week, ending with a Circus City Festival and Parade. All of the performers are amateurs, ranging in age from 7 to 18 years.

Peru is the site of the tribal headquarters of the Miami Nation.

Several people who worked with Groucho Marx during his film career recall that, during script conferences, he made frequent references to ''the barber in Peru (Indiana)''. This was his term for a ''typical'' member of the Marx Brothers' movie audience. If Groucho deemed a joke to be too intellectual or too esoteric for ''the barber in Peru'', he would insist that it be removed from the script.
