Description
Set of vintage Coors Banquet 'Rocky Mountain Holiday' stemmed beer glasses. Features a classic pokal-style silhouette with a festive holly and berry wreath border around the rim and the iconic red Coors logo medallion at the center. Perfect for Christmas barware collectors or breweriana enthusiasts.
Key Features
Coors brand recognition, seasonal 'Christmas' appeal, nostalgic 80s/90s brewery aesthetic, and the desirable stemmed pokal shape which is less common than standard pint glasses.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic promotional breweriana. High confidence due to the specific enamel screen-printing style and traditional Libbey 'L' stamp often found on the bottom of these vintage brewery blanks.
Flaws to Note
Gold-rim wear (thinning or loss of gold paint), potential light 'flea bite' nicks on the base, and minor dishwasher clouding if previously used frequently. Hand wash only is recommended to preserve remaining graphics.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay and Etsy are the best venues for vintage glassware to reach a national audience. Facebook Marketplace is suitable for local sales but may yield lower prices.
Selling Tips
List these using keywords like 'Mancave', 'Breweriana', 'Holiday Barware', and 'Retro'. Take high-contrast photos against a dark background to make the white/red graphics pop. Double-box for shipping to ensure no breakage.
