A Measure of Time The Largest Collection on the Internet
About Me
Welcome to my site! My name is Matt. I collect ADVERTISING MEASURING GLASSES. This site is an extension of my passion/obsession with these glasses.
I am a Member of the Promotional Glass Collectors Association. On the site, you will find over 15,000 Cartoon & Promotional Drinking Glasses. Any and all set information that is available is included. Of course, also on the site are Measuring Glasses.
Always interested in purchasing one glass, several glasses, or whole Collections. Please contact me with info and photos if possible. foxyguy66@yahoo.com
BIG project STILL coming...ALL NEW PICTURES of the glasses in my Collection. The pictures will be uniform, showing crisp and clear detail. Check back often!
NEW Feature: Under the "More" Drop Down Menu you will see "New This Month". There you will find pictures with titles of the newest entries to the Collection in a Slide Show format. Take a look!
Some Basic Information
Measuring Glasses were offered for many years, mainly from the 40's through the 80's and some, into the 90's, as a promotional element. These glasses were offered by Banks, Savings & Loans, Liquor Stores, Appliance Companies, Food & Beverage Companies, Dry Cleaners & Launderers, Grocery Stores, Insurance Companies, Jewelers, and Bars & Taverns, just to name some examples. These businesses wanted to encourage their customers to return and to offer a "Thank you" gift for their patronage. There are many out there, yet to be discovered and likely from sources unnamed here. Most glasses were issued with one color but, many others had two, three, or even four colors.
What You Will Find Here
What you'll find here are pages to my Personal Collection (NOT FOR SALE) , my Want List, and my For Sale/Trade list. My goal here is simple: to share what I've found and provide pictures of these pieces of history. In some cases, additional info will be shown for variations of some glasses which include, but are not limited to, color(s), layout, and design. Check back often to see new entries to the Collection, Want List, and For Sale/Trade lists. These lists will change frequently. Current Count: 1,218 Updated 10/13/24
Of Special Interest
Of Special Interest to me are Frigidaire Measuring Glasses - my Niche within the Niche. There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of these glasses promoting many different businesses from throughout the country and, in my estimation, hundreds (maybe thousands) yet to be discovered. They are the most elusive to find and acquire but, for me, the best to find. Variations exist, with the same Company Name, using the different Frigidaire logos & layout.
The 'Hunt' Must Go On
For me personally, the 'Hunt' for Measuring Glasses will never stop. It is a passion and/or my obsession. I am always looking for 7oz. to 10oz. glasses , without a spout. Glasses should have Good to Excellent Color(s) and Gloss; preferably, without any Cloudiness. Dirty glasses are okay - I can clean them! Exceptions made for Condition of Rare glasses.

Acknowledgements
I would like to acknowledge and offer tribute to a fellow Collector of Measuring Glasses - Pam Stice. Alot of the pictures found on my Want List were provided by her, through her web site - Measuring Glasses by Pam Stice. I encourage you to visit her site as she has many Measuring Glasses, with pictures. Pam also offers her personal Wish List and For Sale list. Please let her know I sent you!
The following contributors have also provided me with pictures and deserve acknowledgement too: David Lester, Brent Sehnert, Darrell Whitlock, Scott Bernicky, and Roy Rogalski. Without their contributions, many of these glasses would not be pictured here or be known to exist. Thank you!
Over the course of 1 1/2 years I have been fortunate to be able to purchase almost 400 glasses from Roy Rogalski's Collection. I have been able to acquire many glasses that I didn't have and some that I didn't know about. Many Thanks to Roy for allowing me to purchase a sizable part of his Collection to add to my own Collection. I am grateful for his friendship.
