Vintage Thingy Thursday

Some of my Swanky Swigs
This is where I display them.
One of the reasons I wanted to start my blog was to participate in fun things like The Coloradolady's Vintage Thingy Thursday .  My vintage thingy is my Swanky Swig tumblers.  Swanky Swigs are the little glasses that Kraft sells their cheese spread in.  They still make them, but they are not nearly as cute today as the vintage ones.  Today they are just clear glass.  But back in the 1920's - 60's, they sold lots of different designs.  I have been collecting them for about 15 years.  Here's a picture of a group of them.  I have more....

  1. Those are very cool. I never knew they existed before. I'll have to start looking for some when I'm out and about.

  2. You have a nice collection of vintage tumblers. For some reason your post was very hard to read.
