HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS WEIRD MUG? - 9/12/2006 8:45:00 AM    3emarketeers   Posts: 83 Joined: 8/30/2006 Status: offline Hello Everyone, I know this isn't a bottle, but I thought I would just take a chance and see if anyone has ever seen anything like this and if so maybe tell me whatever they know.   My kids have been going out into the woods and digging in a trash dump that my great grandparents and their neighbors used a long time ago.  They found this cup all wrapped up in what looks like a sheet--it fell apart as we unwrapped it Inside was this cup, In very good and clean condition.  I didn't have to clean it at all.  It is 5" tall. It's pretty heavy for its size and it looks very well made I don't see any kind of signature markings at all           NOW ARE YOU READY TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE CUP?  THIS IS THE REALLY WEIRD PART       WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT, I ALMOST DROPPED IT WHEN I LOOKED INSIDE.   ANYHOW, IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ABOUT THESE KINDS OF ITEMS, OR MAYBE WHERE I WOULD EVEN START RESEARCHING, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.  THANKS!   _____________________________ Angela Post #: 1

RE: HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS WEIRD MUG? - 9/12/2006 5:41:48 PM    3emarketeers   Posts: 83 Joined: 8/30/2006 Status: offline Thanks guys for all your comments. I have no idea what that think is inside the cup, maybe a gremlin/gobblin. Thanks Eric I will try and get in touch with tncgal and see if she can help me. Maybe I can sell it on ebay as a haunted cup. It looks freaking possessed. I think it should bring more than that $64,000 haunted cane don’t you? I hadn’t paid attention that those might be letters. I just thought they were symbols. It kind of looks like it might say Dave---That would really be weird because my son who found it is named David, LOL, and he looks like he's going to throw up about now.  _____________________________ Angela (in reply to 3emarketeers) Post #: 12

I really appreciate your help.  I've had 2 people wanting to buy it, but, I would really like to get an idea of what it's worth first.  Thanks again _____________________________ Angela (in reply to diggerjeff) Post #: 20
