A nice Civil War vintage telescoping pewter cup, all original and in pleasing, untouched condition with nice age patina. Though the soft pewter of these handy travel cups was somewhat fragile, they were commonly found item in the soldier's collection of personal items. Period examples remaining in nice condition and retaining the period japanned finish carrying case are popular with collectors and are now seldom found. We have left this pleasing example as found and uncleaned just as it came from decades of attic storage. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
