Drinkware, Glass, USS Oilwell, Orange, BlackDescription
A rocks/old-fashioned drinking glass, branded to USS Oilwell. USS Oilwell was a manufacturing and distribution company of oil field products. They merged with National Supply in 1987 to become National Oilwell. Records suggest that the set of glass that this is part of was used in the company offices by visitors. This glass is an angled rocks/old-fashioned drinking glass made from clear glass, with a printed design on one side. The heavy bottom is narrow, with the sides angling outward in a smooth curve, with a slight rounded lip at the top. The printed design consists of a stylized splash of orange, over which is the black script text "Oilwell", below is a smaller ring inside which is the stylized text "USS". The glasses likely date from the mid-1950s to the 1960s, based on the maker's mark ("L" within a circle, which began use in 1955) and dating of similar glasses.Collection
