Shot glass with fathers initials - 4/5/2004 11:14:15 AM    olddump   Posts: 130 Joined: 2/2/2004 Status: offline I just dug this little [shot glass-mug] the day before yesterday. It has the letters H-B on the front and a crown above it. It is a nice addition to my shot glass collection [5 of them] this being the best. Nicer as they are my fathers initials. Does anyone know of t H-B and crown incorporated in ant companys logos? P.S. Forgot to cut photo Attachment (1) < Message edited by olddump -- 4/5/2004 11:15:40 AM > Post #: 1

It appears to be salt-glazed, is it? The crown suggests a european connection - where are you located? I wish I could tell you more about the piece, but regardless a nice find. _____________________________ J.D (in reply to olddump) Post #: 2

It is engraved with a blue Crown and the letters HB, which stands for Hofbrau. is yours engraved on the bottom with Made in Germany and a number as well? i will e-mail you the site from were i found this info, it has a picture there as well. it should also have engraved 1L (one Liter) close to the top of the mug. < Message edited by maineahh62 -- 4/6/2004 4:42:46 PM > _____________________________ Timothy McKinnon (in reply to olddump) Post #: 3

T hat is a wrist watch it is next to in the pic. I did;nt think it was too old as there is the rubble from a bar that was torn down not so long ago 4-5 years. I can't ask for better info than that thanks a bunch oh it dos'nt have any thing on the bottom but it's a lot smaller than the mug. but no mistaking it goes with that mug this is a great new forum. Thanks again Tom, Olddump (in reply to maineahh62) Post #: 4
