    Description

    COASTERS :
    Exactly what are they?  When were they first used, and for what?  Well, if you have ever thought about it, or asked the questions, read along.
    A coaster, a drink coaster, beverage coaster, or beermat is an item used to rest drinks upon.  Coasters protect the surface of a table or other surface.  Coasters can also stop hot drinks from burning the table surface. C
    oasters can be placed atop a drink to prevent contamination (usually insects).
    The first coasters were designed to hold decanters or wine bottles, so that they could be slid (or coasted) around the dinner table after the servant had retired. They were a common use after about 1760.  Early coasters took the form of a shallow tray, or dish, made of wood, paper-mache, silver or silver plate (some were made of gold)..
    In 1880, the first beermats made of cardboard, and  were introduced by the German printing company, Friedrick Horn.  Along came those made of pulp, then cbeganoasters were introduce to the United Kingdom in 1920 for the  advertisement of their pale ale.
    Saucers have also had a long used in western culture for much the same purpose. When drinking tea, it is customary to use a cup and saucer set.  By the mid-twentieth century drink coasters were made in many materials and styles manufactures for domestic use.
    More recently, glass and porcelain coasters have been produced.  The consumer began to personalize each one with a different picture, or theme.  Coasters have also been made from soapstone, metal, wood and silicone.  Some coasters can be recycled.
    Please consider the five I have for your viewing pleasure.  Originally they were part of a set of eight (8).  They all had transfer picture of the transportation of the century. (NOTE:  very similar to the USPS series of
    transportation
    stamps during the mid-20th century.)
    These drink coasters measure four (4) inches wide and a half (0.50) inch in height.  As I said previously, these are in very good condition with very little wear.
