Old Long John whisky glasses x6, vintage retro bar advertising

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of six antique advertising glasses from the Long John brand, renowned in the world of Scotch whisky. Each glass features the distinctive "Long John" logo on the front, accompanied by the inscription "House of Scotland – Blended Scotch Whisky". The printing, in gold and black, is well-centered and highlights the retro character of these glasses.

The glasses have a straight shape with a thickened and faceted base, typical of "old fashioned" whisky glasses. The lower part of the glass is structured by vertical facets that ensure a good grip and give a classic touch to the whole. The transparency of the glass enhances the clarity of the served drinks.

In the photo, three glasses are visible inside a compartmentalized cardboard packaging, suggesting the presence of the entire lot (6 glasses as indicated in the title). The glasses are well aligned, each in its individual compartment, and the original box seems to have fulfilled its protective function over time.

The advertising decor, typical of promotional productions from the second half of the 20th century, reinforces the vintage and retro aspect of the set. These glasses are particularly suitable for daily use at the bar, or for a decorative display on a shelf dedicated to spirits.

Condition

These antique glasses are used and sold as is. No cracks, chips, or major defects are visible on the exposed face of the glasses. The advertising print appears well-preserved, with no excessive wear apparent on the visible area. The cardboard box shows signs of use and storage, with some marks on the edges, but it still ensures the protection of the set.

Did you know? Long John whisky takes its name from John Macdonald, nicknamed "Long John" due to his imposing stature. Founded in 1825, the brand is part of the Scottish history of blended whisky and distinguished itself through its advertising campaigns in European bars and cafes, notably by distributing branded glasses during promotional operations in the 1960s-1980s.
