    These belonged to my father as part of his home bar. They are very likely from the 1960's. Do these have any value beyond "normal" shot glasses?

    Fort Pewter is still in business making souvenirs.
    I wasn't able to find much other than they started in 1945, per a worthpoint listing.

    The best way to determine if something is selling is to check ebay completeds. Don't forget to include the shipping charges, as that shows what someone is willing to pay for an item.

    Found this one that looks similar to yours. Keep in mind that it may also be where the souvenir is from that also brings value. Which for these isn't very high.

    Square glasses are really useless. There is a reason drinking vessels have been designed in the round for millennia, the liquid delivery can be controlled, however with square vessels the whole lot comes at you at once. Stupid. A case of form not following function.

    You have to drink from a corner or it spills out either side of your mouth. As stated before, stupid. Things designed like this need to be destroyed so that future generations won't look back at our times and say WTF!!!
    ....although the way things are going, future generations may be even more stupid and may prefer drinking from square cups mugs and glasses ...especially if those vessels bear an Apple logo ......you never know!:nailbiting::jawdrop::D
