<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 401907, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Again the name Swanky Swigs is being referred to many glasses that were not packaged with cheese etc. Swanky Swigs was a name given by the author Gene Florence to glassware that was used for the delivery of food products. The glassware such as Bamboo was sold as drinking glasses. So many people confuse any glassware from the 50s and 60s as Swanky Swigs. It is like calling all leaded glass shades as Tiffany. Just because people use the term it is not right. The one bad thing about the internet it is causing people to use incorrect terms just because it sells. I am done preaching now.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
