My grandparents drove a Chevelle, (I think it was a '62?) for eons. It was the first car I ever drove. Yours looks great and thanks for the memories!

Thanks so much and I'm glad that the pictures brought back good memories of sporting around in the grandparents Chevelle!!!!

Hello everyone and thanks so much for the replies!

As for my 66 Chevelle, I bought it from the original owner in 1994!
 It's just a Malibu so I decided to do a complete frame off restoration on it myself adding a big block with a nice blower. I have alot of time, sweat, and money into it as building and drag racing muscle cars is a serious passion of mine. Here is a picture of what the car looks like now....




 But as for the items I posted, I am going to go back to the house and will look to see if there is a saucer that belongs to the cup.
 It's funny that someone mentioned the table that the lamp is on as I had one fella come to the house to pick up some free couches I posted on Craigslist, and he noticed the table and offered $40 for it. Not knowing what it was, I passed on his offer.
 I'm not looking to get rich by any means, but I do need to empty out the house of this stuff and just wanted to be fair on it's value.
 Thats why I'm very happy that I stumbled across this site and met you fine folks!

I also found a very old typewriter and a coin collection.
Thanks again!
Joe

Hello everyone!

 I discovered this site while searching online to try to find out exactly what I have here.
 I am cleaning out a house that has been in my family for many decades, and came across this cup with lid type item, as well as an old lamp.
Both appear to be in excellent condition.
 I was wondering if anyone could possible lead me in the right direction as to what the cup is and what it may have been used for, if at all, and what it may be worth if anything.
 The only markings on it are on the very bottom where it says Japan.
As for the lamp, I didn't notice any markings on it at all.
 Thank you!
Joe
