Raise a glass to Acme Motor Car Company, the Reading, Pennsylvania maker whose story began with Reber production before the Acme name appeared in 1903. From a former bicycle factory at Eighth and Elm Streets, the company grew from a handful of cars each week to daily automobile production. This pint glass brings that chapter of early American motoring to a relaxed toast, whether you are sharing stories with fellow collectors or marking an appreciation for short-lived automobile makes.
The Acme was an American automobile make built in Reading, Pennsylvania, from 1903 to 1911, succeeding the Reber, produced from 1902 to 1903. In June 1903 James C. Reber acquired a former bicycle factory at Eighth and Elm Streets and announced that Reber Manufacturing would change its name to the Acme Motor Car Company. Production began at four to six cars a week, and by 1905 the company was making two or three automobiles daily. The firm exhibited at the Chicago and New York automobile shows and joined the founding membership of the American Motor Car Manufacturers Association. After entering receivership in 1906, it was sold in 1907 to Herbert M. Sternbergh, who introduced the six-cylinder Sextuplet. Acme offered touring cars, runabouts, delivery vehicles, and other body styles, and later promoted racing and endurance events. In May 1911 its Reading site and plant were sold to J. H. Sternbergh, who sold the company to a New York consortium. The company name then changed to SGV. Acme also acquired parts from Lancia for SGV cars, including an engine and four-speed transmission.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
