Hi Kerrilyn. These glasses are hard to find. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you try collectables shops, collector's fairs and eBay.

Hello OJ, I am excited to find your collection. My mum collected glasses for years. She has hundreds and hundreds packed up in boxes. I have decided to catalogue them all so have started a blog and facebook page and am working through them one glass at a time : - ) She did give me a copy of Munchenberg's catalogue which is very helpful. I can see that your site will also help me to identify brand/year etc. Thanks very much for sharing.

Hi Julie As a collector, I would pay $50 for one of these glasses, which is probably less than the eBay price. Please give me a call on 0418 552 629 if you would like to discuss. Regards OJ

Hi OJ, I sent photos of my St Kilda 1964 Premiership glass. Did you receive them?

05 Nov 2016 7:03PM

Otway Jack 2

Hi Julie There are four series of premiership glasses and I only have one of the StKilda glasses - the glass with the image in all white colour. I'd be interested in your glass, so please send me an image or description of the one that you have. Regards OJ
