(Anchor-Hocking, 1963) A rare set of (4) drinking glasses featuring Universal Pictures monsters that were manufactured by Anchor-Hocking. A premium given away at gas stations, the set includes Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, Wolfman, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Notably, Dracula was left out of the line as a contemporaneous lawsuit over rights to Bela Lugosi's likeness prevented Universal from producing marketing material with his image. Among the most coveted Universal Monsters products of the era, well-preserved complete sets of the Anchor Hocking glasses are difficult to find. Each measures approximately 6.75" tall x 2.75" in diameter. The glasses are in fine condition, exhibiting only minor wear.
