I didn’t have much emotional investment in it. It just had longevity. I _had_ thought from time to time that Bed Bath & Beyond is gone, and I wondered how I’d replace it if it ever broke. Maybe I should take a picture of it and post it on SDMB so Dopers can help me find one. But I never did that. Anyway, the one in the link looks kind of close.

I have three 10-ounce Coca-Cola glasses like these:

> Circa 1960-1970's white painted Enjoy Coca Cola glasses. I have a total of 6 perfect glasses, 5 measure 5 in x 3 in and hold 10 oz of your favorite cola (I hope Coke), and 1 glass measures 6 x 3 and holds 12 oz. I cn include an additional 10 oz...

Dad bought four of them in the mid- to late-'70s, and one broke in the '80s. They’re in regular rotation. I’d hate to lose them because apparently this style of glass isn’t made anymore.
