Blakely Cactus For Sale

According to the Allee Willis Museum of Kitsch:

Back in the 1950′s, Blakely offered a line of desert-themed glasses and dinnerware to costumers as premiums. When you filled up your tank, you would receive a free glass featuring one of eight different cactus designs, and additional pieces such as pitchers, plates, teacups and trays were available at a small cost.
