Only somewhat identifiable find of this morning. Don’t know if it’s tin or aluminum. Resembles a small coffee cup? Any insights are appreciated! Have a great day!

Is it possibly a cup from a small thermos bottle?

I've seen similar cups, I think, as part of a nested camping kit, possibly for Scouts or military.

Could be a kids mess kit cup.👍🏼

Yeah definitely small. I think I’m going to “tap” it into shape and clean just for fun. I need a new restoration project.

Could be a cup from a toy tea set.

Was able to straighten out some to reflect actual shape… odd.

Hey, I got it! Consider its diminutive size. The material ( aluminum or tin) reflects “scouts/camping” to a lot of people. Put the two together. I get that it may be a scout’s communion cup! Wow!! I amaze me sometimes. 😂🫢🎆🎇 LOL

😂 lol!! I tell you BF, I dream of one day metal detecting, beautiful weather, no iron/cans/bottle caps/roots/rocks etc… and mostly, everything I dig identifiable on site.

I've found similar before...the ones I've found ended up being measuring cups

I think AU has it with teacup from a tea set.

Yep… closest match I can find is “child’s nursery rhyme tea set cup”. Wish it was in better shape. Thanks to all that replied!!👍
