Family heirloom

Tonight, while looking at a photo from my first birthday, I noticed something familiar about a glass on the table. I dug deep into the depths of a rarely-opened cupboard and found that exact glass, or one from the same set. I assume it was one of the old dishes that mom sent with me when I went off to college.

30 years ago that glass was probably used to serve milk at a child's first birthday. Tonight it is being used to serve that same child whiskey.

You really can't put a price on a piece of family history like that, but the glasses (I have 3) should fetch a buck or so on eBay.
