These large glass tankards are interesting pieces of Americana - or vintage American advertisint. I dont often have US glasswares - so for convenience I have just listed under European - sorry for that!
I have three of these available - but just so there is no confusion the price quoted IS FOR ONE GLASS ONLY.
Each glass tankard has an the embossed face of Joe Flanigan on one side and "Big Daddy's" in embossed letters on the other side. They would be great for a tall beer - or to your collection of American advertising memorabilia. These glasses do not turn up so often in the UK - and as such a relatively rare.
Each glass is 5 3/4 inches in height. It is 2 3/4 inches at the base. The rim is 3 inches and across the rim to include the handle is measures 4 1/2 inches.
The steins will be sent to Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
SHORT BACKGROUND HISTORY: Joseph Flanigan (aka "Big Daddy") was the founder and Chairman of Flanigan's Enterprises which started up in 1959 in Florida, USA. He was an industry leader in the restaurant and bar business for 45 years. He stayed ahead of the competition by constantly pushing forward new concepts to entertain and also provide great food at value pricing. Joe Flanigan was certainly a colourful character who sadly passed away at the age of 75 in 2005. He enjoyed having his face used to market and advertise his business - in a similar fashion to Colonel Sanders.
Over the years, his business grew across the country from Florida to California under the name "Big Daddy Lounges" and these were found in over 70 locations. He was so popular in the Southern States that North Miami named a street after him - this is called Joe "Big Daddy" Flanigan Avenue.
