Unfortunately, this is not a picture of the Archie glass we had when I lived in My Old House. That glass was my favorite glass to drink out of from the mid 1970s until a few years ago when the glass fell out of a cabinet, landed on the floor and broke.
I was a little disappointed. My favorite glass, not to mention an artifact from my childhood was shattered.
While nothing could replace my original glass, I decided to look on eBay to see if I could find another one. Fortunately, there are lots of Archie glasses for sale on eBay. I paid about $15 for my new Archie glass (pictured today, above.) The new one is okay. It is my morning orange juice glass of preference. It's just as nice to drink out of as the original, but it's not the original. The paint was so worn off my old glass that you couldn't even see what the picture was of anymore. And worst of all, I didn't have this one when I lived in the gray house.
I do like my new Archie glass, but will always miss my old one. Sniff, sniff.

The glass broke? That is so sad. REmember the "orange juice glasses" that you bought for mom at either Shultz's or Wegmillers? I always liked those little "cheese" glasses too - the ones that came with pineapple flavored cheese in them.
Yep, you must have forgotten because right after the Archie glass broke I e-mailed you the bad news.
I bought the "orange juice glasses" at Wegmillers. (I always liked Shultz's better though.)
We still have a cheese glass. I usually use it when the Archie glass is in the dish washer.
I have at least 5 cheese glasses in my cabinet today because you can still buy pineapple chees in them and I still like it a lot!
Love,
Mom
Actually, now that you mention it, I do remember that you emailed me about the demise about the Archie glass.
