Didn't anyone else's mom collect the coupons that got you silverware?

I have a circa 200 Year Old Georgian Silver Set that I inherited. It has spent two decades in a box while I impatiently await Antique Roadshow to come to my town.

Every family in our neighborhood had those tall green glasses, the bumpy ones, that came from the gas station near the grocery store.

Well I'm not selling it - but sometime when I'm back at the house I can take a snap.
If you meant pics of something else - sadly I'm too old to be doing that anymore. :(
