South Country Ambulance Appraisal

South Country Ambulance Company Commemorative Pint Glass

This is a standard 16-ounce tapered mixing glass, commonly referred to as a pint glass, constructed from clear machine-pressed glass. The primary feature is a large polychrome screen-printed graphic on the front surface. The logo represents the 'South Country Ambulance Company' and is styled as a shield with a dark blue border and yellow outline. Inside the shield is a coastal scene depicting a sailboat on blue water beneath a yellow rising sun with rays, flanked by two black bird silhouettes. The bottom of the crest includes a green Star of Life emblem and the text 'Est. 1940'. On the reverse side, a red heart-shaped graphic with a white Star of Life and internal medical caduceus is partially visible, signifying its purpose as a commemorative or promotional piece for emergency services personnel. Physically, the glass features a weighted base for stability and a smooth, fire-polished rim. The condition appears to be excellent used condition, showing high transparency in the glass and vibrant, intact colors in the silkscreen graphic without visible scratching or fading. The typeface and graphic design suggest a modern manufacturing period, likely within the last 15-20 years. Such items are typically used as department fundraisers, anniversary souvenirs, or recruitment gifts.
