    Apparently, my great grandfather got a break from the farming as a youngster in 1886, and went to Saratoga to see the ponies.

    He came home with this mug engraved with his name/initials. It is a smaller mug, only 4 1/4 inches high.

    Looks like a flint glass whiskey shot.

    That is cool. Saratoga is a lovely place to see the ponies and horses.
