Victor Mug White (Early Model)

This mug is from Victor's basic line, but the stamp on the bottom is an early model with a wide font. It's off-white and dates to the 1950s-1960s. Compared to the later models, there are far fewer of these, and they haven't been in stock for over a year.

When you actually pick it up, you'll be surprised at how heavy it is. The handle is small, making it hard to hold, and the thickness may make it difficult to drink from. However, it's also true that some people get used to this "habit" as they use it. We recommend this cup to anyone who likes dinerware, as well as those who want to continue using something durable and simple.

Although the stock is limited, the condition is good, with only minor scratches and some discoloration on the bottom. If you've been looking for an old Victor, 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.
