Initially I purchased six of these cocktail glasses at a antique store on the far north side of Chicago. They had been on the shelf for years. I remember seeing them the first time I went in the store. I finally inquired about them this spring. There was no price marked on them. She told me the price and said she would work with me. I could not afford them at the time so the owner graciously allowed me to put them on lay-a-way. She had no minimum down and no time-frame in which they had to be paid off. So I put my money down and went on my way. Several weeks later I returned and got them out of lay-a-way.
The last two I purchased where found at a antique store in southern Indiana. I saw them on a trip earlier this summer. They had three more of the glasses I had already purchased (unfortunately I had just missed the old-fashioned glasses that they had in stock). For some reason I decided to pass on them. When my cousin and myself returned at the end of the summer the glasses were still there. I decided to purchase two of them. Making my collection a total of eight. As I feared when I got the two newest ones home they did not match completely. I believe the first six may have been through a dishwasher. The elephants are a little bit lighter on them.
