 | WWII Naughty Glasses! - These glasses purport to have been owned by Pilot Officer W.M.L.Fiske, an American who flew with 601 Sqd in the Battle of Britain. He sadly died of injuries sustained in combat on 16th August, 1940. The tumblers are typical of the period and probably made in the U.S.A. The front depicts demure images of ladies and servicemen in the dress of the period, but when viewed from the reverse side they become rather more racey! Minor rubbing to transfers but overall remarkable condition. 12 cm & 13 cm
