Item #: JSMDVH
Click on an image to enlarge
Collapsible drinking cups were designed for traveling and reducing space. These were very popular with Civil War soldiers and officers early in the war. Though they were not issued by the military they were available from regimental sutlers or mail order purchase. This one of hard rubber bears the maker's name and patent date "NILES DRINKING CUP * PATENTED JUNE 5th * 1860 *” on the cover. It was made with four connected sections of diminishing size that extend and ingeniously fit to create a cup. This is in excellent condition with no damage.
