Description:
1960's Georges Briard "Name Your Poison" Barware Set.
Set includes -
- 8 highball glasses / tumblers with different poison names on each glass. Each of the highball glasses measure approximately 5.75" tall and 2.75" wide at rim.
- 6 Shot glasses that all say "Straight Poison" on the front. Each shot glass measures approximately 2.25" tall and 2" wide at rim.
- EXTREMELY RARE Name Your Poison Chain Necklace with bottle opener at the bottom of the pendant. We have done exhaustive research on this piece and while we've found other highball and shot glasses, we have NOT found another one of these necklaces to be able to compare to other sets being sold online. This is the first time in a LIFETIME of collecting that we have ever come across these glasses and they would be for the advanced collector of vintage barware and/or Georges Briard glassware. That being said, PLEASE make sure you read the condition statements.
