For your consideration is a vintage collapsible camping cup, dating from the 1940s–1960s, featuring a beautifully engraved lid depicting two canoeists paddling beneath a mountain and crescent moon. These telescoping metal cups were popular with hikers, canoeists, Boy Scouts, and travelers throughout the mid‑century era due to their compact size and durable construction.
The cup is made of lightweight metal with a classic telescoping design that expands smoothly and collapses neatly into its engraved lid. The outdoor scene on the lid is a hallmark of mid‑century North American tourist souvenirs, often sold at national parks, lodges, and gift shops.
This piece is both functional and collectible — a perfect addition to vintage camping gear displays, scouting memorabilia collections, or rustic cabin décor.
