Vintage Cups, Glasses and Mugs

It’s interesting to see the different promotional and corporate products made over the years. Every week we will feature a cool retro cup, glass or mug from our large collection. We’ll share what we’ve learned about them and welcome your additional input and comments.

This is a waxed paper cup from McDonald’s from the 1960s. It was used to serve milkshakes. Printed on the artwork is “The All American”, advertising McDonald’s combination meal of a burger, french fries and a milkshake.

This 16-ounce cup was made by the Sweetheart Cup Division of the Maryland Cup Corporation in Maryland. Beginning in the mid-1950s, McDonald’s became one of Maryland Cup’s biggest customers for disposable food containers.
