I have had this item in my small collection of postcards for many years. Although it’s not a postcard, it’s postcard size so I just kept it with them. I think I would classify it as a customer appreciation card, given to customers by their Jewel Tea representative.

It is a Happy New Year’s card given to a Jewel Tea customer of Albert S. Samuels...

This is a neat McCoy item – a mustache mug! It measures 5 ¼” tall and bottom has McCoy’s pitcher mark, USA.

Advertising stein is for “Your Father’s Mustache, 426 Bourbon Street, New Orleans”.

It’s in wonderful condition with only “use” evidence being a ½” glaze slice type chip on bottom (underneath) – that’s it!

Nice item, nicely priced

More items purchased at an estate sale in Evansville, Indiana! I’ve grouped three bottle openers into one listing.

They are: “NuGrape Soda, IMITATION GRAPE FLAVOR”, “STERLING, VAUGHAN U.S.A. PAT.1,996,550” , and the last one is “Have a Coke, Drink Coca-Cola” (on both sides of handle).

Each opener is in vintage condition as shown in photo...

I purchased these ice picks at an estate sale in Evansville, Indiana. They both have wood handles. The round handled one doesn’t have any advertising on it, just a decal (possibly hand-painted) of an Eskimo. It measures 6 ¼” in length.

The other one has advertising information on each side of the handle – “ICE SERVICE, INC.”, “PHONE 6174”, “820 WALNUT ST.” and “Air Conditioned Iced Refrigerators”...

Pharmaceutical advertising mugs that were produced by McCoy are becoming more difficult to find -- especially the Rho-Gam mug!

This one was made for Rho-Gam and is a sage green color with shiny over-glaze.

Mug has no chips, dings, cracks, but does have minor interior crazing. It has a 1" glaze break -- not a hairline, not a crack, it's glaze only and doesn't go through.

This is a nice item, priced to reflect imperfection...

Purchased at an estate sale, this listing has a vintage advertising item for the Claypool Hotel of Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a combination bottle opener and spoon and measures 7 ½” in length.

It is in vintage condition as shown in photos and I have not attempted to clean or polish it in any way. It is being sold as is.
