Unmatched Provenance & History
This isn\'t generic yard-sale glassware found floating loose in bins. These glasses are true New Old Stock (NOS), discovered sealed inside their original 12-pack commercial shipping crate (Sahm Artikel Nr. 403).
Included in the photographs is the original dot-matrix delivery carbon invoice dated November 21, 1997, from General Beverage Sales Co. out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, delivering this exact crate of \"Bitburger .3 L Goblets\" to a regional Wisconsin establishment. They have sat completely dark, safely boxed away, and unused for nearly three decades—preserving their pristine, mint factory state perfectly.
Product Engineering & Attributes
German Quality: Engineered specifically for the heavy hospitality trade with structural brilliance, glass clarity, and durable, thick-set footings.
Thematic Reliefs: The front face features the premium, vintage gold-gilt framed portrait medallion of the traditional Bitburger gentleman above the crisp, classic gothic “Bitburger” logo and “Bitte ein Bit” slogan.
Official Calibration: The reverse features the crisp white legal fill line stamps reading \"Sahm 0,3 l\".
Condition Note
Every glass ordered is guaranteed to arrive in absolute pristine, sparkling mint condition. Because they have never seen commercial use or severe automatic dishwashers, the gold lettering and fine black graphics are 100% intact with zero fading, scuffs, cloudiness, or rim chips.
(Note: The original 1997 invoice and master case box are kept for company records and historical verification; individual glass orders will ship securely nestled in heavy, fresh bubble cushioning).
