This model, which still retains the distinctive features of the Watchman's Mag in terms of size and shape, is believed to have been manufactured in the early 1950s or 1960s. There are extremely few of these in existence, making it an extremely rare item.
The color is off-white, almost white, and the large diameter allows for a decent capacity. In terms of condition, there are small scratches, stains, chips on the base, and discoloration, but there are no chips or severe stains on the rim, and considering its age and rarity, I think it's in a perfectly acceptable condition. It's unlikely we'll see another shipment of this item, so if you're a Victor fan, this is a must-have.
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.
Size : Outer diameter of mouth 9.3cm, height 9cm, capacity 310ml, weight 470-490g
Delivery
60 size
Notes: <br>We have excluded items that are difficult to use or have major damage such as chips or cracks in the opening, but please be aware that these are old items that have actually been used and therefore are not new or perfect items without any defects.
