Pioneer Club glasses and a story grin

Like I've said before, sometimes the stories are as much fun as the stuff! grin Please don't point out the flaws in the story. I can see 'em, and I love the story anyway...so I'm sticking to it!! grin

In 1999 my husband got this set of glasses for Christmas, from his son. His son told us that he bought the glasses on ebay, and the seller had emailed him the history of the glasses. He gave us the email.

I have an estate sale service and auction company, and I purchased the entire contents of a ladys house this past summer who was a notorious gambler, and a "lady of evening" if you know what I mean. Miss Eva told me herself that she got these souv. glasses in Vegas in the fortys, and even told me about the "married man" that took her to Vegas on that particular trip.

This lady was in her 70's and in bad health from all the drinking, and so forth that she did for all those years!! It is obvious that on inspection, that they are classic 1940's with the illistrations, and the way Vegas Vic looks. This lady had match books, and cocktail glasses, tons of packs of "vintage unused condoms" in the household, gorgous hand made shoes from Paris, designer evening gowns, all of these lavish gifts were from lovers, and clients!! Miss Eva said that she didn't regret a thing, that she lived her life to the fullest, and had a wonderful time!!

She went to live with a relative, and past away, in October...I went to her Funeral...and there were a lot of old men there.....not hard to figure out. Probly more than you wanted to know about the Vegas Vic glasses, but true history to go with them.
Thanks,
Kelly
