Title: Possible McDonalds Antique
Post by: wsb3d on June 18, 2011, 09:41:55 PM

Found these while cleaning out a attic!  Dated 1970 something on the edge of both pieces.  Made by res-o- ??????

 ??? A McDonalds antique? Really? A genuine, bonafide antique is 100 yrs old or older. McDonalds started in 1955 so there is no way there can ever be a McDonalds antique until 2055.

It's getting close to "vintage" though!

Yes, but fortunately or unfortunately McDonalds does not age like wine.  ;D

That's true wayward....we have found some of their petrified fried in the car on occasion!  LOL

Don't believe these are in big demand but are definitely a neat item that a die hard McDonald collector might want.  However, the value I would place on them (if in perfect shape) is $5 - $10 each)

Looks like a straw missing ... I've been trying not to comment as I'm probably one of the few people in the 'civilized' World that has never been in a McDonalds!

Mario, you are not missing out on one of life's culinary delights for sure! It is cheap, it is fast, it barely qualifies as food, and it led to the English slang 'gut bomb', appropriately enough.

That's another new thing that I've picked up!  ;D
