One clear-glass commemorative tumbler with multicolor printed decoration depicting an oil derrick, workers, an oil wagon, and vegetation. The front caption reads “Old Spindletop—Gulf's First Gusher Texas 1901.” Reverse decoration includes partiallylegible historical text referencing Spindletop and Gulf Oil Co. Research identifies this design with a Gulf Oil collector-series premium. Glass appears complete, with a thick clear base. Printed decoration is visible on both sides, but glare,translucency, apparent wear, and a pale label or label residue obscure portions of the reverse. No definite cracks, chips, or repairs are confirmed from the photographs. A red auction tag remains attached near the rim and shows “LOT# 13,” partialvertical text reading “Tyler Grace,” and handwritten “Gusher”; the handwritten “00” is unresolved. No functional testing was performed.
