This is a unique collectible for the cycling enthusiast. It was created in 1897 and was carried as a portable cup.
It is a "telescoping" collapsible silver cup. The style was patented on February 23, 1897 by John Lines. This
particular cup is embossed on the lid. It says Cyclist's Cup. There is an image of two people riding a tandem
bicycle (bicycle-built-for-two.) It was made in the U.S.A.
This is a side view of the cup. More pictures coming soon.
