Thanks to Dave (Hog) for pointing out this unusual item — Jeep Tea cups. First off, the price on these seems nuts –$9999 — seriously? Maybe I just don’t know the market for tea cups. Also, the seller claims these are WWII tea cups, but, based on the jeep, those are Korean War Cups at the earliest.
“World War II Porcellana Maua Jeep Tea Cups and Saucers. Owned by United States Rear Admiral Raymond Schneider who was stationed in Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Mint condition.”
Schneider was an Ensign at Pearl Harbor.
The teacups were made in Brazil.
That’s just perfect … Thanks for that bit of history!
