Raise a glass to Bowman Gum Company, founded in Philadelphia in 1927 as Gum, Inc. The company began with Blony bubble gum and soon paired gum with trading cards, creating a connection that still resonates with collectors. From Play Ball baseball sets in 1939 to the brand’s return in 1948, Bowman helped shape the story of sports cards. This pint glass brings that gum-and-card history to a relaxed moment at home or a gathering with fellow collectors.
Founded in Philadelphia in 1927 by gum salesman Jacob Warren Bowman as Gum, Inc., the company first built its business around Blony bubble gum. Blony became a leading penny gum in the United States, and by 1937 Gum, Inc. occupied a building on Woodland Avenue. Trading cards accompanied its gum, first on non-sports subjects and then in sports sets. Bowman issued Play Ball baseball cards from 1939 to 1941, paused card production during wartime paper rationing, and returned with cards under the Bowman name in 1948. That year it released popular baseball cards as well as its first football and basketball sets. After rival Leaf left the market in 1950, Bowman competed directly with Topps for players and card contracts. Topps acquired Bowman in 1956 for $200,000, and the original brand was discontinued. Topps revived the Bowman name in 1989 for sports card sets. Later products included Bowman Chrome, introduced in 1997, and Bowman Sterling, introduced in 2004. The brand is now owned by Topps and is known for cards featuring rookie players.

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.
