Civil War Era Tin Cup - Made in the USA

This is a reproduction straight walled tin cup with the handle wire wrapped like the originals. Handmade in Missouri out of tin plated steel and lead free solder so it’s safe for drinking out of and or eating.

The cup measures 4 inches in diameter and is 4 inches in height. With the handle it measures 6 wide. It holds 28 ounces of liquid.

Every item is made to be used whether at home or in camp, and made to give you years of service.

Here are a few things to remember about using tin ware for cooking:

If used over a fire do not put the handle in the flames. It's best to use a grate and keep the cup on the edge of the heat.

DO NOT LET THE CUP BOIL DRY! You and it will be much happier if you keep liquid in it while using.

Hand Wash and dry your cup. DO NOT PUT IN THE DISHWASHER

If you decide to store your cup for a bit, give it a light rub with food grade mineral oil on a cloth. Your cup will last for many years of service if taken care of properly. Your cup will naturally get a darkened patina with use.

Civil War Era Tin Cup is made right here in Missouri by Colleen in her Tin Shop.

Keep in mind tin items are tin plated steel. They will develop a patina and get a bit of rust or oxidation especially along seams. Just clean with a soft cloth and some non-scratch soft cleanser.
