German Cup Charms. Antique? Translation help needed.

When I googled the words on the label, it only translated the words "cups and glasses". I know these are cup charms or place setting numbers but I was curious what the rest of the label says. Any idea how old these are? The back of the box has some writing in pencil. Does that stand for 75 Francs? Thank you.

 

You are number six

 

Never seen anything like those. A rather peculiar concept. Just how confusing does it have to get not to know whos cup is whose?

It looks like fl 75, Belgian or French Francs. I'm guessing a date of 1920s or 30s from the style of the label.

 

You are number six

"I am not a number"

 

The last part says "to avoid confusion."

 

No weirder than wine charms.

 

Thanks everyone. I thought wine charms were a new concept until I saw these. I haven't had any luck searching for other antique sets. Where would you list these?

 

No weirder than wine charms.

Never heard of them either. :-(

 

Too bad 7 ate 9

 

I did not notice that, but it can't be a good thing.

 

not so unusual and well known concept to prevent diseases from spreading - especially in pubs. best known form of marking the glasses is the Bierzipfel (also existing as Weinzipfel) used by German-speaking students since the Middle Ages (some anglo-saxon experts think those were watch fobs...).

 

Huh, learned sumpin' -- thanx, Fid!

 

lol shiloh. Thanks Fid!
