None.  I believe they were park exclusives.

Red one just sold on ebay.

Universal also used the same design elements for these 1978 clear glass items:

Tall Mug





Short Mug









Shot Glass

Red one just sold on ebay.

The $17.00 was an average price.  But the shipping was criminal.

Like the milk glass ones much more. They look more old timing.

Me, too - but the shot glass is nice.

Looking for my House of Frankenstein mugs, and I asked someone to take picture of my coffee mug rack in Florida. They sent me this. At least we can see a green one and a yellow one. Still looking for the different orange colored ones.

Here is a nice yellow one.

The current high bid on this auction just dropped more than $40.  The high bidder just retracted the bid they placed 3 days ago.

This same bidder, 9***s(760★),  has retracted 30 bids in the last 6 months.


(The current top bidder, w***5(3653★),  has bid 8 times on this auction and topped his own winning bid 3 times. He has a 21% bidding history with the seller of the cup.)

Looks like the guy who retracted his bid suspected #2 was a shill for the seller.

[Maceo1]

If the bidder -760- retracted his bid, why does his other bids still remain ? And wouldn't he be the shill bidder , if any, with his bidding record and driving prices up. According to ebay you can only retract a bid under certain conditions. If you make a mistake , you have to re-enter another amount, which -760- did not do. The auction did not change and I am sure the seller can be contacted somehow. I think -760- is the odd bidder.  And what do you mean the bidder,  -365-  , topped his own bid ? Didn't he just keep trying bids to beat the top bidder ? And isn't that done by ebay in increments ? Very curious indeed.

Yeah...  Like the former winner forced it to a new high.  Then when no one topped him, withdrew his bid so he would not have to purchase.

Looks like 760 did re-bid on the 17th at 5:36 PM - the most recent bid.

How do you not catch a "mistaken" bid for 3 days?  (I am uncomfortable with this auction.)

I think all his bids should be withdrawn. He knew what the top bids were. He still forced the other bidders to go higher. Not right at all. Would call ebay and fix that auction.

eBay should have a system notification feature whereby they are alerted of bidders who make an unusual number of withdrawals.  I consider 30 in only 6 months suspicious.  (How many withdrawals have you ever made?)

I've made only 2 in over 20 years - so few I remember them both.

yeah... i reported this to ebay early this morning.
