Kev in Deva Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) I was told it turns out to be a folding paper cup given to Officers in the Austrian and Prussian Army!! It measures approx: 11,2 cmBase width; 5,5 cmWidth at the mouth: 10cmIts in remarkable condition for a card / paper item from 1914 - 15, aside from a piece of medical sticky tape top leftand a couple of minute pin-holes!!Kevin in Deva.
