BenShot Musket Ball Rocks Glass

America celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, and you can toast the country’s birthday with one of BenShot’s rocks glasses specially tailored to the occasion.

Handcrafted by U.S. veterans at the company’s glass shop in Wisconsin, the Musket Ball Rocks Glass features the imprint of a .69-cal., zinc musket ball pressed into the side of the glass, the same size musket ball typically used in the French Charleville muskets issued to the Continental Army.

Price: $25 (11-oz. rocks glass). Contact: BenShot; (920) 249-4898; benshot.com.
