Yes they do...but there were reproductions made also. To be honest, I forget how to tell the difference.

The repro i have  has the bell shaped glass, And it's been a while, but I also think the printing on my glass was red.
But it's also been 30 some years when the repro's came out, I bought mine sometime in the 80's.

I was referring to the glass holder, not the glass. I think the origonals are silver-plate and the repros are pewter, but I'm hoping someone else will chime in here. Origonals are worth atleast $100.

Here's some quick info I found on a search:

Coca-Cola glasses with metal holders were originally made for soda fountains from 1901 through 1904. The white line near the bottom of the glass showed the amount of Coca-Cola syrup to put in before adding carbonated water. The glasses and metal holders have been reproduced. The original holders were made of triple-plated silver and sold for a nickel. The original glasses are marked on the bottom with the letter "F" in a shield. Today the original sets are hard to find and sell for $2,500 or more. Reproductions of the metal holders were produced beginning in the 1970s. They were made of a pewter-type metal, silver-colored but not real silver. Reproduction holders have the word "Drink" in small letters on a crosspiece above the words "Coca-Cola." Reproduction sets sell for $20-$30 or less.

Check ebay there are a few on there now... all look new... they reproduced these in the 70s with the flared glass and etched syrup line... but you can compare that one to those on ebay... and Allen Petretti's book should also have all the info you'd need to compare an original to the reproductions.
