Hi everyone. Today I found these very attractive glasses. I was looking for some help IDing them. The black background does not do them justice, I will try to take updated pics soon. Thanks!

I have some glass with that ID mark on the bottom. I just have to figure out which item it is.
mustangtony....really? you do, great! I am very interested in these pieces, for some reason they are very appealing to me. I visited the same store 3 or 4 times before I bought them. Although they were less than a dollar, I couldn't decide if they were anything worthwhile. Thanks!!!
These are fun glasses! I am wondering if they could be Ramos Gin Fizz glasses. I don't know. In my college days, I used to sometimes have a Ramos Gin Fizz on Sundays, at brunch. Don't forget the Orange Flower Water - for me that was the entire charm of the cocktail. : )

I have found several pieces with that mark, but haven't been able to find any info on the maker.
yes, they are very nice glasses, I am hoping someone can ID them. Thanks mikkochristmas and maryh1956 for the comments!
