This small beverage glass was popularly known as “Swanky Swigs.” It belonged to the Orville and Janie Hall family of Fayetteville and date from the 1930s through the 1950s. The term “Swanky Swig” was coined by Kraft Foods. In 1933 Kraft began offering their processed cheese spreads in reusable glass containers they called Swanky Swigs. It was a marketing strategy to encourage housewives to purchase Kraft’s products during the Great Depression, when money was tight. Once the jars were empty, they could be washed out and used as beverage glasses. These glass jars were produced by Hazel Atlas Glass Company, and the first Swigs were hand painted. This is in great condition for its age with no chips or cracks. It measures approximately 3-1/2" tall and 2-1/8" in diameter. I am selling it in as-is condition so look carefully at the photos and message me with any questions prior to purchasing.
