Vintage Howard Johnson Restaurant Simple Simon Logo Collectible Glass
Vintage Howard Johnson Restaurant Simple Simon Logo Collectible Glass
$22.50
Tuesday night at Howard Johnson's for fried clams and "brown cows" (root beer floats) were a fixture of my early childhood. Couldn't resist this glass when I saw it at an estate sale. In researching the piece, I was amazed to learn how sought after the pieces with the earlier logo had become.
This is a vintage Howard Johnson's glass with "Simple Simon and the Pieman" logo. The "Simple Simon and the Pieman" logo was designed by John E. Alcott and became the corporate symbol of the Howard Johnson Company beginning in the 1930s through mid-1960s. The multi-color design includes teal and orange accents, the signature colors of Howard Johnson's.
No manufacturer noted. 6 and 48 impressed on the bottom.
The glass is in really nice condition. No chips, cracks or flaws in the glass. The paint of the design is very well preserved. The only noted flaw is some darkness along the edge of the aqua strip to the right of the orange figures.
This glass is perfect for collectors of vintage restaurant advertising and Howard Johnson's memorabilia. It would make a great addition to any collection or display. The cup is in amazing condition and would be a unique conversation piece.
Dimensions: 4 1/4" tall, 2 5/8" wide at rim and 2 1/4" wide at base
