My parents collected these when I was a kid and my mom recently sent me a box full of them. I think I have around 25-30 of these. Anyone have any info about them? I saw some on ebay and they were labeled "Libbey". Any help will be appreciated, I am not much into glass but think these are neat
They were gas station premiums given out by Gulf in the fall of 1969 thru 1970. Several years ago they were reproduced but some of the batch was misprinted and the letter "e" is missing where it says "Man on The Moon". They pop up often on Ebay and sell regularly for about $2.50 to 3.50 each. I have a set and the nostalgic value is worth more to me than the market value. Nice set! keep them and hand them down to your kids.
thanks railnsail, I plan to pass em on down to my kids. My mom sent me a few boxes of stuff with several old things like this.
