I always liked these and have been on the hunt for a good one for years. They come up from time to time, but almost always have hairline cracks......I found this one in a second hand store and it is good and uncracked. Got it for about half of asking price....its a 1893 Chicago World's Fair mug. I've already used it for my morning coffee a few times, but only after I cleaned out the years of ink on bottom from being used as a pen holder. Fella's at work think I've fallen off my rocker, but who else can drink thier coffee out of a 124 year old mug...???

 When you think about the germs it might contain Mick , who else would want to ? 120 odd years worth of nasties ,no thanks !
