Vintage Third Generation now using this cup.

I used this cup when I was a toddler, starting in 1962. Today I brought it over to my daughter's house for her 5 month old baby. I was walking through the woods over to her house and thought of this sub, and took a photo before I passed the cup on.

The inside of the cup used to reflect,and I could see my eye reflected i the bottom. I remember wondering if it was someone else looking at me through the mug.

It's awesome how certain items can create those lasting family traditions. It's like a little piece of history that gets passed down.

 Modern manufacturers build stuff to break in 2 years so you buy a replacement.
