Up for auction/sale is a vintage 7oz Cocktail glass which was produced to celebrate Cornell Universities 100th anniversary in 1965. It features a circle with the Cornell name at the base of their crest, and the years 1865-1965 at the top with a Laurel wreath on either side, all done in a bright enamel in clear glass with a silver/platinum rim.
Rather you graduated from Cornell, know someone who has, or want to recognize an alumni member, this is a very difficult to locate piece of memorabilia for the 100th anniversary of the university in 1965.
The glass is in nearly perfect condition with no chips, cracks, or damage of any sort and the enamel graphics are detailed, and bright with minimal (if any) wear. The rough overall measurements are 3 1/4" tall, with a 3" rim, a 2 1/8" heavily weighted base, and hold just over 7oz when filled to the brim.
I have described this glass as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided many high resolution images of the glass from varying angles to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
This will be packaged with care to best ensure this very difficult to locate glass arrives as pictured and described.
If you have any questions, additions, corrections, or concerns, feel free to message me.
A little about Cornell University from Wikipedia:
Cornell University is a private and statutory Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White,[6] the university was intended to teach and make contributions in all fields of knowledge - from the classics to the sciences, and from the theoretical to the applied. These ideals, unconventional for the time, are captured in Cornell's founding principle, a popular 1868 Ezra Cornell quotation: "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study."
The university is broadly organized into seven undergraduate colleges and seven graduate divisions at its main Ithaca campus, with each college and division defining its own admission standards and academic programs in near autonomy. The university also administers two satellite medical campuses, one in New York City and one in Education City, Qatar, and Cornell Tech, a graduate program that incorporates technology, business, and creative thinking. The program moved from Google's Chelsea Building in New York City to its permanent campus on Roosevelt Island in September 2017.
Cornell is one of ten private land grant universities in the United States and the only one in New York. Of its seven undergraduate colleges, three are state-supported statutory or contract colleges through the State University of New York (SUNY) system, including its agricultural and human ecology colleges as well as its industrial labor relations school. Of Cornell's graduate schools, only the veterinary college is state-supported. As a land grant college, Cornell operates a cooperative extension outreach program in every county of New York and receives annual funding from the State of New York for certain educational missions. The Cornell University Ithaca Campus comprises 745 acres, but is much larger when the Cornell Botanic Gardens (more than 4,300 acres) and the numerous university-owned lands in New York City are considered.
As of October 2018, 58 Nobel laureates, four Turing Award winners and one Fields Medalist have been affiliated with Cornell University. Since its founding, Cornell has been a co-educational, non-sectarian institution where admission has not been restricted by religion or race. Cornell counts more than 245,000 living alumni, and its former and present faculty and alumni include 34 Marshall Scholars, 30 Rhodes Scholars, 29 Truman Scholars, 7 Gates Scholars, 55 Olympic Medalists, and 14 living billionaires. The student body consists of more than 14,000 undergraduate and 8,000 graduate students from all 50 American states and 116 countries.
