Lot 272:
(2) RARE 1940's Aluminum Kentucky Derby Glassed
Description
Scare Churchill Downs Kentucky Derby Aluminum mint Julep cups. Measuring approx 4.75" tall. Normal scuffs and signs of us, very good overall all. See photos.The earliest glasses had smaller numbers produced, which correlates to the rarity. An example is the 1940 dated glass, which is widely seen as the rarest of the official collection and is possibly the most sought after among enthusiasts. There is a companion glass for 1940 that is not dated and also an aluminum tumbler. Neither has quite the collector value of the dated edition. The tumbler was a preview of the war years, as glass became a rationed resource. So, from 1942-1944, colorful ceramic-type glasses made by the Beetleware Company were produced.
