Eastern Air Lines Red Gold Falcon Nations Most Progressive Drink Retro Glass Vtg

Description

Up for auction/sale is a very hard to find vintage set of 4 Eastern Air Lines cocktail/drink/beer glasses, featuring their bright red Falcon logo inside a golden frame, with gold lettering which reads: "The Nation's Most Progressive Airlines".
I can't date this glass specifically, but from what I read this logo was used with the release of the Silver Falcon, a plane first delivered to Eastern in 1951 by the Glenn L Martin Company and touted as "offering the highest degree of dependability".
Besides, if you paid for one of those early ticket prices way back then, the least they could give you was a glass...
For those who'd like to know more Eastern, copy and paste the following link to an extensive and very interesting article related to the ebbs and tides of the Airlies before their dissolution in 1991:

These glasses definitely have that MCM/Retro flare to their design and I found very few examples of this glass style using eBay, Google, and Bing. I suspect these were timed with with the (
then
) new and very progressive Martin Silver Eagle… (I included a For Reference Only photo)
The glasses are in excellent "nearly new" condition, with no chips, cracks, or damage of any sort, only very minimal (if any) signs of wear to the gold text, and the gold framed Falcons all look very striking on display. The rough overall measurements are 4 5/8" tall, with a 2 3/4" rim, has a 2 1/8" lightly weighted base, and holds a full 12oz of your favorite concoction.
I have described these glasses as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided several high-resolution images of the glass collectively, in pairs rotated at 180 degrees and with close ups using a white paper insert to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
These will be packaged with care to best ensure this very rarely offered set of glasses arrives as pictured and described.
