More Information


Fun novelty piece that was used for picnics, camping or hiking etc. This particular cup belonged to a DNR agent who was employed 1920s - 30s.
Very handy for grabbing a drink from a clear spring back then.

When it is collapsed, the diameter is 2 5/8 inches. When it’s open, it is 2 5/8 inches tall. The handle folds inside the cup. The bottom reads “Patent Pending Hero Trade Mark.”
Although the cup shows it's patent date 1912, the actual timeline is probably circa 1930s considering the heavy aluminum.

Very nice vintage condition. The cap for the cup has surface scratches and scuff marks from age and use. Please remember you are buying antique / vintage items. There is going to be wear on some of these old treasures.

Please be sure to have your questions answered prior to making your purchase. I will ensure your order is packaged carefully for you!
