Manufacturer: Culver, Libbey, Federal Glass, Hazel-Atlas 
Original price: US $ 15*
Worth today: US$ 1,500*

After World War II, Americans were in a super celebratory mood. The war was over and it was time to kick back, relax and adjust to life after one of the darkest periods in history. During the late 1940s and 1950s, companies such as Federal Glass, Hazel-Atlas, Libbey, and Culver made a lot of money selling barware.

The flashy gold barrels and graphics were essential to the laid-back feel of the era, and occasionally, retro cocktails will come back into fashion once more. If you keep any mid-century barrels from the companies listed above, that furniture could be worth up to $$ 1,500.
