This mug is from Victor's most basic line, which continued to be produced until the company closed down in the late 1980s. The stamp on the bottom indicates that it is a later model. The mug is a rare dark brown, characterized by less unevenness in the paint compared to chocolate and reddish brown. It is estimated to have been produced between the 1970s and 1980s.
In terms of condition, the bottom is clean, but there are small scratches all over the top, so it seems to have been stored upside down. There are some scratches on the sides, but the scratches on the inside bottom are minor, so I imagine it wasn't used much.
All of the new arrivals are large in size. The handle is fairly large (about the width of two fingers) , and the capacity is about 215ml when filled to the brim, and 170-180ml when filled to 80-90%.
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.
