Thanks for the individual images.

This is a curious item. What I can say is that this is not an official presidential or White House item. The eagle design is merely a commercialized version of the Great Seal of the United States. In short, its just a design element.

Unless the glass is from a significant manufacturer or is made of lead crystal, the actual value would be based on its retail value, not an historical one.

Hope this helps.

That’s quite a lot of inventory. I’m going to reprint my answer from a previously similar question, but taken as a whole you’re quantity is quite a lot and could have a slightly lower value en masse.

“Terah:

If your Nixon item looks similar to the one in the photo above, then it is indeed a unique presidential item. Once upon a time, these items were rather rare, even scarce. But, with the advent of online auction sites, more and more are making their appearance more often and so the value has dropped below what they used to be.

Still, with the gold/blue presidential seal and the Nixon signature in gold on a clear glass whiskey tumbler, it still makes a great collectible for presidential collectors.

I have successfully sold similar Air Force One tumblers for presidents from Nixon to Clinton and can reliably be certain of a value from $195 to $295.”

Now this is a retail or collector value. With your large collection it may have a slightly lower value to sell them all.

Hope that helps.

Please send photos, though, of both and we can make a better determination.

I’m delighted to hear that you will be featured on Antiques Roadshow, especially for one of my personal collectible favorites – items from Army One.

I was an Army paratrooper stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, NC and as my interest in all things presidential became more focused, it was items from Army One that became the center of my collection. Today, I have several original Army One patches cut directly from the uniforms, one handmade and used in Vietnam, glasses from Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, a visitor certificate, a candy dish from Richard Nixon, all are central to my presidential collection.

I wish you well with your collection and with the Antiques Roadshow. Keep us all informed as to what happened. And thanks, for letting us know.

The JFK glass could be significant, too, but it depends what type, whether it has a signature, and its condition. An image of that particular item, plus the candy dishes of the other presidents would be more helpful.

There are relatively fewer items associated with Army One and so any items from glassware to match books to photos all have special value. Depending on the condition of your Richard Nixon Army One glass, the value could be from $150 to $250 to a collector.
