Description These glasses were used by ETA for their nuts. Glass measure approximately 17.5cm in height including aluminium lid. For a time as a promotion one received a free BBQ serving tray with this jar of nuts that has an aluminium lid so you could re-use as a cocktail shaker. Colour variations included Light Blue, Red & White. These vintage 1940-1960’s glasses are unique to Australia. Known as Swanky Swig glasses, they began life as condiment jars for companies Kraft, Sanitarium, ETA (peanut butter), Cottee’s, Barnes Honey, Grieg’s Honey, Farmer’s Union & Gardner’s and one would have contained Vegemite, Marmite, Peanut Butter, Mayonnaise, sweet spread like Lemon Butter, Conserves, Savoury Relish and pastes for sandwiches, honey, cocktail onions or nuts. Once the contents were consumed, re use and collect the glasses to form a set of many colours.
