I think pop cans and beer cans are aluminum... must be safe.

I just spent over a half hour googling about the safety of aluminum tumblers and can not find one single site that says they are unsafe. I truly would like to see a reference link that says anything different than what I found at the government Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry which states the following:

How might I be exposed to aluminum?
Virtually all food, water, air, and soil contain some aluminum.
The average adult in the U.S. eats about 7-9 mg aluminum per day in their food.
Breathing higher levels of aluminum dust in workplace air.
Living in areas where the air is dusty, where aluminum is mined or processed into aluminum metal, near certain hazardous waste sites, or where aluminum is naturally high.
Eating substances containing high levels of aluminum (such as antacids) especially when eating or drinking citrus products at the same time.
Children and adults may be exposed to small amounts of aluminum from vaccinations.
Very little enters your body from aluminum cooking utensils.

Anyway, Cricket, I saw some on Amazon and here's a couple more links that have them, too :-)

I don't mean to be negative but aluminum is the most harmful of all to our bodies.

I have seen that exact same thing on Ebay. I get most of my long lost favorites from Ebay. And the price is usuall pretty good too.

I memory serves me right, I think I have seen them in Kohls. My mom had those aluminum glasses too and you are right, water tasted so much better in them.

I ordered a set from Miles Kimball and got the terry cloth coasters from them,too. These glasses are almost too cold to hold without them if you are drinking ice water. I agree, water just tastes better in them.

Just wondering, do you also remember the little cloth "coasters" that went on the tumblers? I was a kid and I thought they were the neatest things I have ever seen, clothes for drinking glasses lol!

You can get the pitcher and a set of four tumblers from the Miles Kimball catalog. If you don't want to order onlne, request their free catalog.
