1979 Ziggy Macho Beer Mug. Glass with Ziggy holding a beer. Heavy, large mug. Measures 8" in height with a 4" opening. Excellent condition.

This heavy glass beer mug is a classic piece of 1970s pop culture memorabilia, featuring Tom Wilson's iconic character, Ziggy. Released in 1979 by Universal Press Syndicate, this "Macho" mug depicts a wide-eyed Ziggy proudly holding his own overflowing beer stein. Known for its substantial weight and oversized design, this mug stands 8 inches tall with a wide 4-inch opening, making it a perfect functional tankard for a 32 oz pour or a nostalgic display piece for a collector's shelf.

The vibrant orange and brown graphics are characteristic of the era's comic strip merchandise, which saw Ziggy's popularity explode through greeting cards and novelty glassware. This "Macho Man" theme was part of a broader series of collectible Ziggy glassware, including the famous "Sudzmug," and remains a favorite for those who grew up with the daily funny papers. Its durable, thick-walled construction reflects the high-quality glass standards of the late 70s, intended for both daily use and long-term preservation.

This item is vintage, over 45 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. If I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
