So my brother's ex-girlfriend family is moving to another town and following good american tradition decided to have a garage sale sell different junk that accumulated throughout their and theirs ancestors life. She brought this box as a gift to us last night. I'm still shocked that someone can just give away such a thing. As far as I understand this belonged to her great-grand parents who came from eastern europe.

Inside the box

the shot glass itself I took the pictures with my cell early in the morning that's why they ar so fuzzy. If I have time I'll take new pictures with the camera. But anyway on top it says "Роза" on the bottom "Свинья" and obviously a pig pictured in the middle. Left-to-right the year 1747

Well I don't know if it was made in Russia since all the signs are in english except "Роза Свинья". So it might have been american company you know like Smirnoff isn't russian. But still it was in their family for good 3 generations.

Уважаемый merigoo!
Находка потрясающая! Уж раз раззадорили, отснимите четко все детали, ладно? И, учитывая абсолютно музейный характер находки, попридержите, не распродавайте. Во-первых - уникально, во-вторых ценно исторически и в реали.
Несколько месяцев назад заскочили в антикварную лавку на Таганке. Там расписной зеленый штоф 1900-х со стаканчиками стоял чуть поболе 10 штук в зеленых бумажках с дедушкой.
Поберегите сокровище.
С поклоном..
