Remember when you were handed an ice cold glass of lemonade and the glass was so cold it almost hurt your hand?
On a really warm day I would hold the glass up to my forehead and then to both sides of my face.
These aluminum tumblers made by Color Craft in Indiana were very popular in the 1950's.
Our neighbor Lorraine had a set and it was special drinking lemonade or Kool-aid out of them. I always liked the red glass the best!
I am sorting through some "stuff" and putting "stuff" on marketplace.

My grandmother had those. She evidently loved them because we used them a lot. I was one who never enjoyed drinking out of metal but I don't know why. Plastic and glass are what I prefer. The interesting thing is when I became an adult, I was allergic to any metal in contact with my skin - - - even expensive metals like gold and silver. I inherited that from my paternal grandmother.
ReplyDeleteI do think that my mom had some of these glasses. This reminds me of a hot cup of cocoa during the cold months..how I love to hold the mug and let it warm my hands. I've been to many summer baseball games where a Cold bottle of water was used to cool my face. Great memories...
ReplyDeleteWe had a set of those metal tumblers when I was a kid. Wonder what ever happened to them.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend's mom had a set of these and she was like a second mama to me, so these tumblers bring back good memories!
ReplyDeleteWe had some of those aluminum tumblers... I shudder now to think of drinking out of or cooking with aluminum.
ReplyDeleteLarry’s mother had the same classes. I’d forgotten about them.Guess they lost their popularity.
ReplyDeleteWe had those same glasses when I was growing up. Sometimes if you bumped your teeth with a cold "glass" it would hurt your teeth. Great memory. They have to be worth something by now.

Yes, Cool Aid or Freshie. Did you have Freshie in the US?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of.
DeleteAh yes, Kool-aid or lemonade out of the frosted aluminum tumblers was the absolute best!
ReplyDeleteMy aunt had a set of those glasses. They were COLD!
ReplyDeleteI love those glasses and especially the purple one. Now they're saying not to use cookware with Aluminum! Just like plastic that they're finding in our bodies! Loved alot of things from the 50's including a halfway decent Society and the greatest generation!
