Pitcher

[konniem56]

I have found a very heavy glass pitcher but can't find any makers marks on it. Does anyone have a clue as to the maker or how old .  I was told it was old .

I have seen these pitchers before but have no idea who made it !!  They are very bottom heavy !!  Wendy, or the others might know !!

Thought that's what it looked like but wasn`t sure !!  Shakey`s pizza parlor had them if I remember right !!  Kept the beer cold since they were so heavy !! They kept them in the freezer till they filled them !!  Hot summer,,cold beer !!

I used to call them "Hotel Pitchers" as well. Every old hotel would use them in the rooms.

Used to see ones like this in the 50's & 60's , in cafes & diners , for iced tea , water & such (got that 'ice-catcher' spout on 'em) .

These were used in the food service industry for water, tea, juices and beer.

They do sell (low pricing) but are not as desirable as newer pitchers that are lighter to hold.

Believe this is like yours

Good one, KC.  ........... I did a quick look via G-Images but didn't find a match.

I remember them from 'beer night." You would pay a cover charge and they would keep filling them for free.
