This model, with its grooved hem and elaborately crafted handles, is unique among Victor models. It also comes in a unique blue-gray color, but there are very few of these left, making it a rare item.
This model is relatively early, with production estimated to have begun in the 1950s, or at most the 1960s, but it also shows that Victor, which continued to produce simple mugs, underwent a lot of trial and error in design. Some mugs have an engraving on the bottom, while others do not, so you can choose which one you prefer (there are no differences in size or color).
In terms of condition, there are some minor stains, discoloration of the bottom, and scuffs on the inside bottom and rim, which are signs of wear and tear, but there are few small scratches on the sides. There are also cracks on the handle and bottom, but please note that these were caused during manufacturing.
While it's not in perfect condition, it's safe to say it's in good condition, as there are very few Victor blue-gray mugs left in stock. It's a rare item, and we can't guarantee it will be available again, so if you've been looking for one, or if you just love vintage mugs, this is definitely worth considering.
About Victor mugs
Founded in 1893, Victor originally grew as a manufacturer of insulators, insulating devices used in electrical wires. However, during World War II, the insulator business stagnated, and the company began exploring the possibility of manufacturing ceramics using the same raw materials as insulators.
In the early 1940s, the US Navy requested a coffee mug that could withstand the rocking and rolling of a ship, and Victor was ultimately awarded the contract.
Navy's request was for a mug that was thick and durable, without handles that could break if hit, and in response, Victor created the Watchman's Mug, a mug shaped like a Japanese teacup.
During World War II, they also began producing thicker, more durable bowls for military use, which continued to be produced for some time after the war. As for mugs, they also made improvements to the Watchman's Mug, retaining the thick construction but adding handles.
Even after the war, Victor continued to make simple, durable mugs with little change in design. This simplicity and durability gained them great popularity among restaurants and diners, and they became a widely loved standard for coffee mugs.
