Set of eight 5.5” tall glasses in original (but worn) cardboard box. Box VG. This set of glasses was made available by the Hickok Belt Company. The theme of the glass set of sports stars and championship teams was a compliment to the companies yearly issue of the S. Rae Hickok belt. The belt was awarded to the top professional athlete of the year. It was awarded in honor of the founder of the Hickok Mfg. Co. of Rochester N. Y. which made belts, hence the choice of a belt as a trophy.
