Description

Part of the Presidents from Ohio series. ""Since the Gay Fad Studios were located in Lancaster, OH from 1945-1962, it's not surprising that Gay Fad produced numerous Ohio commemorative pieces, the most famous being the "Presidents from Ohio" tumbler set that honors the eight U.S. Presidents born in Ohio, the "Cradle of Presidents." The front of each President's frosted tumbler features his portrait, a facsimile of his signature, and his year(s) in office with "Presidents From Ohio" above, all in brown, while the back shows his birthplace in brown with colorful accents. Rutherford B Hayes - 1877-1881 (America's 19th president; lost the popular vote to Samuel J. Tilden, but won the presidency in the Electoral College when a Congressional commission awarded him 20 disputed electoral votes.) Tumbler stands 5-1/8" tall with a diameter of 2-3/4" at the rolled rim and not quite 2-3/8" at the base." Retrieved 12.13.2016 from http://www.santafetradingpost.com/gay_fad_1b1.html#3
