    Description

    Over the past 38 years here in Mansfield, I've had a few of these ... but ... in the last 15 years
    THEY have VANISHED
    .  The prison was supposed to open in
    1896
    and they did start taking in prisoners but the building was not actually finished until
    1910
    .  This mug, with the Typical German Round ----
    MADE IN GERMANY----
    backstamp, certainly WAS used in both periods, going right with the correct age of this cup.
    Fine German Hard Porcelain
    with a
    BOLD, FLAWLESS, NO WEAR to the FULL VIEW OF THE PRISON as a COLORFUL TRANSFER
    ...trimmed in GOLD no less and of course matching yellow gold handle.
    I have NEVER SEEN ONE THIS PERFECT!
    It might be fun to find the "issue" plan ...
    SOLD or just GIVEN AS A SOUVENIR
    of the Opening.  In any case a pretty nice quality for whatever the reason.  Right at
    2 3/4"
    Top to Bottom and the Top Diameter is
    2 3/8"
    (NOT including the handle.)  This "solidifies" the actual Original high quality of the Building and Original Start of the Prison... that being the Rehabilitation of young "customers" 😁 .... that certainly took a turn for the ultimate terrible 1920-30's..... and the one incident sending 150 inmates to the basement!  (10 inmates to a small single cell in the hole .. no water or food for one week!)
    OH MY GOLLY .... and we complain about a little HOT weather and rain! I'M GUILTY!
