| The picture shows a view of all (3) Old Battle of Hampton Roads Civil War Premium Drink Glasses in this lot. All of these are identical. These are not dated but they are believed to be from the 1960s when many other items were being made to honor the 100th anniversary since the Civil War. The tumblers or glasses were probably a premium from laundry soap, or sold with a product like jelly or peanut butter inside. The glasses are imprinted in pink, white, and blue. They have images of the ''BATTLE OF HAMPTON ROADS'', The U.S.S. Monitor, the C.S.S. Merrimac, and various sailing war ships. They are each marked as follows: MONITOR VS. MERRIMAC
MARCH 9, 1862
BATTLE OF HAMPTON ROADS
DURING THE CIVIL WAR

MONITOR The glasses each measure 6-5/16'' tall. They appear to be in mint condition as pictured. |
