One clear glass tumbler with printed Kentucky Fried Chicken promotional graphics. One side depicts a colorful hot-air balloon and chicken design with Kentucky Fried Chicken branding; the reverse shows Colonel Sanders and lettering reading “BALLOONRACING TEAM” and “FOREST PARK, 1978.” Both photographs appear to show the same single tumbler; the pink and red paper pieces are auction identification tags, not included glass components. The glass appears structurally intact in the supplied views.Printed decoration shows visible abrasion, fading, and scattered loss or wear, including around the balloon graphic and reverse lettering. No obvious chips or cracks are visible from the photographed angles; a pale rectangular residue or labelremnant is visible inside the bottom/base area. The rim and base are not adequately documented for complete condition or marking inspection.
