History

This glass tumbler was produced in 1978 as part of the Arby's Collector Series featuring reproductions of famous Currier & Ives winter scenes. The specific scene depicted is 'Winter Pastime,' showing people enjoying winter activities in a rural setting. The artwork is based on the original lithograph by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, prominent American printmakers of the 19th century. These promotional glasses were distributed by the Arby's fast-food chain and have become nostalgic collectibles. They are particularly valued by collectors of restaurant memorabilia, Currier & Ives enthusiasts, and those interested in Americana from the 1970s for their charming winter scenes and connection to American popular culture.
