My Mother gave these to me when I first got married in 83. They sat in our china cabinet for as long as I can remember. She got them while on a trip with her mother I believe before I was born, but not really sure. Hard to find information about them. I know they were part of some promotion. There are six or eight mugs, been so long since I took them off the shelf, I've forgotten.
I have a mug a lot like this! except it is white glass and there is a playing card on it. everything else is the same....brass bands, wood handle.
the large item is a texaco cookie jar. i have 3 of them. suppose to have a wooden lid on it. the mugs dont go with it.
I just saw a ton of these style mugs at thrifty store with various things written on them. Apparently they were popular 20-30 years ago.
do you collect texaco?
I know for sure they came together. My Mother and her Mother picked them up on a cross country trip many moons ago. It was some sort of add thing, fill up, get a mug and after so many you get the pitcher. Sorry Smitty, I don't collect, I just kept these as a memory for Mama and Granny.
i have 3 of these cookie jars. dont you think if it was a picture it would have a spout for pouring fluids? plus it had a woden top that came with it. i'll stick with cookie jar
