Early Chicago Temple Bottoms Up Glass

This unusual glass with the rounded bottom has the Chicago Masonic Temple Building on the front side and Masonic (York Rite) markings on the reverse all decorated in gold.  Its dated 1892 in real small numbers.  They call it a bottoms up glass because you can't sit it down until you finish up the drink.   A very interesting piece... this glass is 7 inches high.
