1960s-1990s (Primary production era 1967-1980s)

Condition
Very Good. The glass appears clear without significant clouding or 'dishwasher haze.' No major cracks are visible, though the rim should be checked for flea bites.
Demand Level
Moderate. It is a very common pattern, but there is a steady replacement market for people who have inherited sets and broken a glass.

$5.00 - $8.00 (originally sold as affordable mass-market glassware)
Comparable Sales
Recent eBay solds show single tumblers selling for $6-9 plus shipping. Full sets of 4-8 glasses typically sell in the $30-$50 range depending on size.
Description
Vintage Anchor Hocking Wexford pattern flat tumbler in clear glass. Features the iconic 'Early American Prescut' look with a multi-textured design including small diamonds, large sunbursts/stars, and vertical fluting near the base. Approximately 4 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter.
Key Features
Highly recognizable Mid-Century pattern; durable heavy-duty glass; classic 'EAPC' style that fits both farmhouse and retro aesthetics; easily replaceable if part of a larger collection.
Authenticity Indicators
Distinctive Wexford pattern (small diamonds separated from large stars by narrow vertical lines); weight (this pattern is notably heavy); no maker's mark (common for this line). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'flea bite' chips on the sharp edges of the pressed pattern or along the rim. Check for cloudiness/mineral deposits from hard water.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for single replacements), Etsy (best for vintage sets), or Facebook Marketplace (local sales to avoid high shipping costs for heavy glass).
Selling Tips
Wash with vinegar to remove any cloudiness before photographing. Use 'EAPC' and 'Diamond Starburst' in the keywords. If selling a single glass, offer it as a 'replacement piece' to attract buyers who just need one.
