A fine American sterling silver collapsible traveling cup with sterling case and gilt wash interior. Devised for sporting events, picnics, and travel — open the case, pull the cup up in a telescoping fashion, and after use it collapses back into itself, the lid closing securely to hold it in place. The top of the case is monogrammed in script with three initials. A wonderfully practical and elegant piece of Edwardian-era travel silver.
