Vintage B.C. COMICS Characters ICE AGE COLLECTION 1970s - Anchor Hocking FIRE KING Bowl - MARATHON GAS Premium

Description

This is a tab-handled milk white glass cereal bowl from the B.C. Ice Age Collection by Johnny Hart, and features several of his zany animal characters from the popular comic strip. In keeping with the prehistoric theme of the strip, this clever bowl has a rough texture on the outside and is intended to look like it was chiseled out of rock or ice.

Made as a promotional item by Anchor Hocking in the Fire King line for the Marathon Oil Co. gas stations during 1971 and 1972, these are becoming harder and harder to find in good condition with no damage to the decals. Signed "Hart" on the side of the bowl and embossed "Fire King Anchor Hocking Made in USA" on the bottom.

Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or utensil marks. Decals are complete and bright. Measures 5 1/2" wide from tab handle to tab handle x 2 1/4" high.

Shipping weight on this piece is 2 lbs after packaging.

A WORD ABOUT ANTIQUE, VINTAGE & COLLECTIBLE GLASS: Most of the glass I sell will exhibit features indicative of age, previous use, and outdated production methods. These may include visible base wear, bubbles, warping, pattern irregularities, cooling striations (often called "straw marks"), and obvious mold lines. Old glass can have small inclusions of ash, sand, or dirt specks that became embedded in the glass during manufacture. All of these are expected characteristics of vintage glass and are generally accepted among collectors. I will, however, point out anything that might be seen as a negative and will describe any chips, cracks or other damage that would impact the value of the piece. I do my best to describe my items accurately and it’s always possible that I might miss something, but I try very hard not to.

You can always Convo me if you have questions. And, out of all the gazillions of wonderful items on Etsy, I want to thank you so much for stopping by to see mine!
