One of the great wishful-thinking items of all time is this enormous hand blown glass Prohibition beer mug circa 1932. Decorated with seven amusing etched scenes and slogans it is inspired by the dry old days. Created to push the campaign to abolish the Volstead Act this also promotes the campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt for President in 1932. The glass and its images are brilliantly solid and EX-MT. Evidently not having been stained by a drop of the devil's brew.
