Rare 1899 green glass Syria Shrine commemorative goblet in excellent condition. Each year Syria Temple produced a glass to commemorate the Imperial Shrine Session that they were to attend. These glasses were sold and traded much like today's baseball cards and pins and were the most sought after collectibles at these conventions. Syria Temple commissioned Westmoreland Glass Co. to produce a different glass each year with a "theme" suited to the city that they were visiting. The year this wine glass was made, 1899, the Imperial Session was held in Buffalo, New York on June 14th. Hence the gold "buffalo" stencil on the back of the glass. This glass was made in clear and green glass and they stand 5 inches tall. (/masonicmuseum/syria_1899_wine_glass.htm) This glass is in near mint condition. No scratches, knicks, or chips. Gold leafing is in tact. It's a beautiful piece and would make a wonderful addition to any collection. I accept only Paypal. Please pay within three days of winning bid or item will be relisted.
