z-Sold Niles Drinking Cup

This great looking and handy telescopic drinking cup is made of Gutta Percha and is marked "Niles Drinking Cup Patented June 5th 1860"
It is just the thing a Gentleman or soldier needs in his satchel or saddlebags for those hot days.
Cup has a great patina and shows some wear.  The base has pieces missing but they are old breaks, cup is still very much usable.
Would make a perfect addition to a travel bag.
