Collectible Antique Telescoping / Collapsible Lidded Aluminum Cup w Leather Case

Description

Presented here is a
Collectible Antique Telescoping / Collapsible Lidded Aluminum Cup with Leather Case
.
This convenient and practical folding cup was created for campers and hikers to carry a drinking cup in their pockets. I can only imagine the use of this cup during the prohibition era (I know I would have heavily used it
J
). The cup comes with a floral design lid. The cup conveniently folds and fits into its leather carrying case.
The cup measures
2.6” wide
at the lid,
1.2” folded
and
2.75” fully opened
without lid. The leather case is 2.8” wide with a rounded bottom and flat top.
The cup is in
very good antique pre-owned condition
. It does have some oxidation and dust on the lid. There are light bends but still telescopes well and can hold water (needs to be fully extended or it leaks). The case shows considerable age related wear and damage to the top finish. This is a small tear at the edge but the case is still usable. Please review pictures for detailed condition.
This is a practical invention from times gone by. It will make an admirable addition to your vintage accessories collection.
