Ericson Glasses

Ericson Glasses (two)

THE WRITTEN TEXT

These are glasses made from wine bottles. The blue (pictured) is one I have had for 15 years. Still whole. I never take glass into the cockpit while under way. House rule. Blue is a rare color. What I can readily produce is a glass made from a Bordeaux bottle. The smaller version holds 12 ounces. It would come in different colors and each would have the Ericson logo laser-etched into it. Lips are smooth. Some glasses will have an indented bottom (punt); some will not. If you are interested in a matched set (all the same color, same bottom) I can do that. It will take longer. I CANNOT do custom etching with boat's name on each glass, as it would make each job a custom job and there is no economy of scale in that. Unless you are rich. Normal issue is random selection, because that is the fastest. If you have an e-mail, I have an iPhone and can shoot you (figuratively and literally) a picture of what I have and then you can pick and choose. I am working on this whole thing right now, and ASSUME that I can produce the glasses and get them out the door for $10 each. Shipping is what it is. You pay for shipping. Am estimating less than $10 FedEx Ground.

Text on glasses, generally, is on my website: www.mainsheetpartners.com.

All questions answered. Questions from attractive, wealthy women who reside in Colorado or Washington answered immediately.

Well that is absolutely fabulous. It is! When most of 'our' age group runs around denying everything of the past, a hero steps up to the plate.

'America, I did not even peck that little fat girl on the cheek, but I did however drink the bong water'.

My heart is warmed..

Crazy Times

As a lifetime professional musician, I spent many years around the more mellow clouds of smoke. I never dreamed it would be legal, I hoped, but never thought it would actually happen.

Ironic how now that it's legal, I have no desire to run out and buy a bong! A blue glass with Ericson and Reefer etched on it though,,,,,,,:woot:

Like my old buddy Hunter Thompson used to say, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
