HISTORY COMPANY Astor “Men's Bar” Crystal Whiskey Glass 2-Piece Set (Gift Box Collection)

Description

Re-Introducing the “Men’s Bar” Whiskey Glass in One Pound of Crystal.Its roots
go back to 1904, when millionaire William Waldorf Astor opened the Hotel Astor
in New York’s Times Square. The hotel’s legendary Men-Only Bar was open from 6
AM to 1 AM daily, and no less than ten bartenders were on hand, serving drinks
to a roster of patrons including Pierpont Morgan, Samuel Langhorne Clemens
(better known as Mark Twain), Colonel William F. Cody (otherwise “Buffalo
Bill”), Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks, Alfred E. Smith, John “Bet a
Million” Gates, and Diamond Jim Brady. Actors rubbed elbows with financiers
and athletes with industrial giants. The bar attracted these men of fastidious
tastes because its drinks were what they ought to be, served in whiskey
glasses crafted in nearly 1-pound of crystal. These glasses conveyed an
expression of conviviality, and the entire experience revolved around how you
hold one in your hand. Offered is a Gift Box Set of 2 Hotel Astor “Men’s Bar”
Crystal Whiskey Glasses, true to the days when men were men, and women were
glad of it. (Includes a bit of Hotel Astor history).
