Anchor Hocking Avocado Lido Design 12 Glasses Plus Pitcher Complete Set In Box

Description

Anchor Hocking Avocado Lido Design 12 Glasses Plus Pitcher Complete Set In Box. Condition is NOS. So these glasses are in their original box. T 4000/73. The box says seven piece avocado Lido design beverage set. One Dash 3 quart pitcher, six Dash 12 ounce tumblers by anchor hocking. However there are six additional juice glasses included that my mother or grandmother packed in there it seems strange because They obviously were not part of the set but they included them and added them to the box. I do remember drinking out of another anchor hocking glass when I was little but these have been intact in the box for a very long time. So I although I will say used I don’t think they were ever use and they’re in mint condition just dirty from being in the basement. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask I will get back to you as soon as possible also I am open to offers thank you for looking
Some trivia
Named for the nearby Hocking River, the Hocking Glass Company was founded in 1905 in Lancaster, Ohio, by Isaac Collins and a few associates. During its first year of operation, the company produced and sold as much as ,000 worth of glass pieces (the equivalent of roughly 6,000 today). By 1929, with the arrival of a machine that automatically pressed glass, Hocking became the largest producer of what we now call Depression Glass, inexpensively produced but elegant glassware that sold for about 4 to 25 cents apiece. The Miss America pattern, produced between 1935 to 1937, proved to be among the company's best sellers. It's available in pink, crystal, green, ice blue, and red in plates, tumblers, pitchers, and more. After surviving the Depression, Hocking Glass merged with Anchor Cap and Closure to become the Anchor Hocking Company, as the name remains today. Some individual pieces from the Miss America collection are available for less than , but a complete service for eight can go for up to ,000, depending on the color. (Pink is the most popular color with today's collectors.) Here are some highlights from the company's heritage.
