The Complete Welch’s ChecklistBy Mark E. Chase With another new Welch's glass promotion coming out this year,
I'm convinced more than everthat the number of Welch's glass collectors
will someday surpass the number of Pepsi glass collectors. Twenty to
thirty years ago, Pepsi was king of the hill in terms of the diversity
of promotional glasses produced. What have we seen from Pepsi in the
past 10 years? No more than a few Christmas sets and some regional promotions.
The best Pepsi glasses in recent years have been coming from overseas,
particularly the European and Australian market.
It seems to me that the next generation of collectors may find
the range of Welch's glasses much more interesting and challenging to
collect. Most of the individual glasses in the post 1980's sets are
still valued at less than $2.00 - $3.00 each. There is a nice range
of new trendy characters and classic cartoon personalities to find.
What a great way for new collectors to get started.
Another element that makes the Welch's glasses an exciting area
to collect is the difficulty (or perhaps impossibility) of collecting
all the variations. Once you get all the easy sets, you can try to amass
the different bottoms and color variations. Samples and prototypes occassionally
appear.
One of the documentation elements missing from all of the glass
reference guides is a complete Welch's listings. Our book shows a few.
The Tomart book lists them all, but they are scattered throughout the
book in different categories. Here is a complete list of all 28 Welch's
glass promotions that have been done for a total of 1238 glasses in
all. Special thanks to Welch's collector Richard Patterson for his corrections
and updates.
