Whiskey tumblers logo

Hi, does anyone recognise this logo please? Trying to identify who made these glasses. Thanks

 

Louise, the logo looks MASONIC.

 

The G inside a protractor is a major symbol for the Masons.

 

Yes, the main Masonic symbol. But they did not make the glasses.

Isn't a protractor the thing that measures angles? Think this symbol uses a compass & a square.

 

You are correct, Bronwen. Sometimes the brain offers up words it hasn't used in while and the fingers go with it.

 

In case it's not apparent, the Freemason's symbol does not represent the company that made the shot glasses. They could be personalized or just made to sell to that market.

 

I had to really scrounge in my memory of 10th grade geometry for the words. 'Square' came right up, but had the darndest time trying to summon up 'compass'. Kept wanting to call it a radio-something (from radius). I would not have any trouble finding the word for the gizmo that tells you which way is north. Memory is a weird thing.

 

Masonic Blue Label. Hm! I do love that stuff.

 

Have you checked the bottoms for the name of the manufacturer? Sometimes it's etched into one of the cuts. Tilt the tumblers upside down at several angles and in different lights, not all crystal is signed though.

 

Other half bought me a 20cl bottle of Blue Label. It costs about 30 quid for that size. I sipped it. Slowly.

 

There are numerous companies producing custom etched glassware - would think if these were from a Johnnie Walker gift set, they'd probably use the same graphic as on the bottle, and probably put some indicator that it was JW-Blue promo gift (used to love my tips on the stuff when I tended bar - pricey stuff...)

I suspect that these were commissioned by one of the state Grand Lodges as a fund raiser. I would start with Westmoreland as their founder was an active Mason.
