Antique Collapsible Cup RARE FIND ~ (Patent Aug, 1897)

Antique Collectors !!! RARE FIND ~ Here's a unique Antique Victorian Bicyclers collapsible cup. The cup has a decorative lid that doubles as a case . Bottom marked: Pat. Feb 23 1897 . Size - 2 1/2" in dia. x 3 1/4" tall ~ It was used for people to carry with them as they travelled on their bicycles in the late 1890's to early 1900's timeframe. Today, it could still be used on the hiking trail to give your furbaby some water ! Very unique find. I did manage to find one on Ebay that is listed for $ 75.00 ~ https://www.ebay.com/itm/165197151531 Ours has a little more 'wear' to it so we are pricing it very reasonably @ $ 36.
