Antiko… Made in Germany…German Military??… Enameled Silver… 6 Vodka Shotglasses…in Original Blue Satin Lined Box! Presented is a set of 6 Vodka shotglasses in original box, made of silver with a little bit of history. Each shotglass has an enameled medallion with the Coat of Arms of the city of Berammergau, Landshutt, Regensburg, Augsburg, Traubing & Ulm a.D. They were made in Germany in the 1950’s. The tradition of personalized shotglasses was very strong in the military, something like the tradition of regimental or reservisten beer steins. It was an excellent gift, sometimes, a trophy prize. Usually made of silver-silverplated for lower ranks. In many cases, the officer’s clubs ordered personalized silver shotglasses for the officers. It was used for Schnapps-the german version of Vodka. Please note that in the US, the word “Schnapps” is usually used for something different-liquers. Each shotglass measures approximately 1 1/2″ high x 1 1/4″ (top) diameter. They are each marked on the bottom with “EPB”. Great collector’s set and a piece of history! There is some tranishing on each one, but I believe this is due to the age. In good, used condition.
