**RARE** 1959 Complete Set of 8 MCM Academy Award Winning Song Rocks Glasses

Description: The time has come for me to downsize my vintage barware collection, and why not start off with a once in a lifetime set. This “Down Memory Lane With” set of 8 footed rocks glasses is dated 1959, which would be the 25th anniversary of the first Academy Award given for best song. The set is marked "© 1959, Jack Nadel Inc., Los Angeles”. I learned from Nadel Intl., that the Academy Awards was one of their clients back in the 1950s (and still is now) and the glasses would have been a promotional item for the Awards. The glasses are 5” tall. There are 7 glasses of composers, who were winners or nominees for the Academy Award for Best Song, and the glasses list some of the composers most well-known songs. The 8th glass lists the Academy Award Winning Songs from 1937-1958. This set ticks off so many boxes for a collector – mid-century modern glassesmovie musical buffsOld HollywoodBroadway lovers The overall condition is excellent except there is slight gold loss on two glasses and, here’s the biggie, there’s a broken base on one glass, which was that way when I bought the set (but it doesn’t affect the integrity of the glass as it stands). Please see pics for the aforementioned issues. I’ve never used the set; it’s been in a display cabinet. List of 7 Composers: Harry Warren – songs from 1930-1943.
