Fun mid century 1960's Libbey Flagship Seafood Restaurant • Washington, DC souvenir cocktail tumbler! The Flagship Restaurant, a 57-year-old seafood institution on Washington's Maine Avenue waterfront was known for its rum buns that date back to 1928 with the founding of
Carter Lanhardt Inc., a wholesale seafood business started by Mahan and
her brother Bill Carter. After Carter died, his wife Ethel Carter Brown
and Daisy Mahan took over the business. Originally, the firm
owned its own fishing boats, nets and oyster beds and expanded by
opening a small restaurant called the Flagship. In the early
1970s, when the District government redeveloped the waterfront, the
original Flagship was demolished and a new restaurant was built across
the street and has since been sold to new owners. Fun flagship logo graphic in vivid cobalt blue on clear glass, this treasure is a swell addition to any vintage bar glass souvenir collection! Perfect for
your retro kitchen, camper, vintage bar cart or a swell treasure to get a retro souvenir glassware collection started!
We recently purchased loads of fun vintage motel/hotel, restaurant and bar logo souvenir glasses (see last pic) at an estate sale that had the most glorious 1960's authentic time capsule rumpus room and lounge/bar in the basement, so please check out the shop to see the the available selection before they are gone! We will happily combine items to save on shipping and will promptly return any shipping over charges!
Glass is in excellent vintage condition! No chips, dings or
cracks! The usual pre-loved surface scuff and light wash fade wear to graphic here or there from
years of helping Madge keep the glam in her cocktail party booming, but nothing that distracts from this treasure of history. Could use a whirl in the bubbles before use. See enlarged pics for best description and details.
