Al Mitchell Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I've known for a while that my dad had a glass from 1926 to celebrate the Scottish cup win. yesterday he gave me it. It's in amazing condition considering it's 85 years old. I'm looking for some advice on how rare it actually is (and is it worth anything). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote

Hi, The glass is quite scarce and if you are willing to sell it let me know. Jim C. Quote
Al Mitchell Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 Al, do you have any provenance this it is actually from 1926? Have seen plenty of 1959 tankards (I have a pair of them) but never from 1926 and I think a collector would be looking for evidence that it is from that year. Hi Tom, I don't have any proof other than it says on it: Good old St Mirren, Winners of the Scottish Cup, Season-1925-26. My mum thinks it was her dads. Quote

Griff Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I have one , it was given to me by a neighbour , he handed it over wrapped in newspaper and said it was a wee St Mirren related present for me that his dad had about the house , I was actually expecting a 1987 glass and said a polite thank you , was totally delighted when I unwrapped the gift and bought Gibby lots of drink as a thank you. Probably worth about £75 but I wouldn,t part with mine. Quote

super saints Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Dont sell it at all mate. My dad has '87 glass, signed by the St.mirren squad from '87. I wouldnt want my dad tp part with that, not even for £500. If yours is real, then I would feel even stronger about the subject. I wouldnt sell it if I was you. Quote
Hollz Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 I've got a 59 and 87 glass, 26 must be pretty rare! Quote
bluto Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Waste of dosh all those glasses. Not even dish-washer-proof. Especially those 1987 glasses. All the signatures on my '87 glass, signed by the St.mirren squad from '87 washed off to reveal something about 1926... A total fiddle... Quote
HSS Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 PM me an offer. Your father gave you the glass yesterday and you're trying to sell it today.You obviously think a lot of your father. Quote
Evil_Panda Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Your father gave you the glass yesterday and you're trying to sell it today.You obviously think a lot of your father. each to their own although i was also thinking this. obviously someone has treasured this and passed it onto their son and within hours he is hawking it online lol. im not judging though, needs must Quote

V... Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Your father gave you the glass yesterday and you're trying to sell it today.You obviously think a lot of your father. He never said anything about selling it. He's only asking how much someone would pay for it. Quote
HSS Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 He never said anything about selling it. He's only asking how much someone would pay for it. "PM me an offer" Aye,very good V. Quote

He's only asking how much someone would pay for it. I don't know if I'd go as far as saying it was 'very good'. I just based my judgement on what the OP actually said... Something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. Quote
Al Mitchell Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Posted March 14, 2011 Your father gave you the glass yesterday and you're trying to sell it today.You obviously think a lot of your father. I do. He hates football and told me to sell it. There are 2 reasons I might sell it: 1. If someone makes me a really good offer. 2. It's 85 years old, survived a world war and I'll probably end up breaking it. Quote

Scabby Dug Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 take it to the local auctioneers for a valuation Quote

Greenhill Road Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I have the 1926 glass as well. Many years ago I loaned it to Paisley museum during some Saints exhibition they were doing and the guy there told me that it was pretty rare. As for value, priceless!!!! Although how much do you think I would get for the set of three I have 26, 59 & 87 Quote
HSS Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Maybe you should sell it.I've just dropped and smashed my 2nd favourite St Mirren mug. Seriously though.............what's the point in selling it if you get,for talking sake,£100?It's hardly a life changing amount.Keep it but put it somewhere safe!! Quote
HSS Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Although how much do you think I would get for the set of three I have 26, 59 & 87 I saw a 1959 glass up the Barras a couple of years ago.It had a price of £25. I didn't buy it as I already have 2 from that year. Quote
bluto Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I dunno what all the fuss is about. With DL at the helm, there's dozens more of them in the pipeline in the near future. Quote
