I went to Dublin recently (from the U.S.) and the glasses they served guinness in had the guinness logo on both sides and they also had two different little seals on them. One said PINT, then there was a circle with a squiggly line through the middle and a number on top then what I guess is the year it was made on the bottom (06, 07, etc.) The other also said PINT and had CE then a box with M and the year. I’ve had no luck finding out how I can buy these, they sell tons of pint glasses with Guinness logos on them but none have that year logo, if I had known they would be so hard to find I would’ve walked out with a couple but you never think of these things when you’re drunk and on vacation. If any locals of Dublin can snag some of these I would gladly send some Euros your way. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Did you try the Guinness Storehouse online shop? That’s where I’d look:

I dont think that is the year it is the calibration mark to signify that the pint glass corresponds to the ISO or si standard for a pint. Its like a Q!uality controll mark.
The CE is the european standard for a pint and that this has been measured to a calibrated system.
This is Imperial (pint) but maybe not the american system if it was metric you would be asking for a0.56 of a litre of guinness
