8468d. (souvenir cup) “Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. c.1900
8468d. (souvenir cup) A stout, bright, gilt decorated commemorative cup in crème and white, featuring a detailed, clear, full color image of the “Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, Maine.”. Quite rare and distinctive, the cup measures 2 ¾” tall and is enhanced by decorative gilt framing around the image, and gilt border around the petite handle and rim. The very fine, detailed color image is one of the nicer ones that I have seen on this size cup, and shows the light tower with attached 2 story keeper’s dwelling and fog signal building on the rocky point. The image is nicely done and quite attractive in shades of blues, greens and browns. “Made in Germany.” Clean, bright, difficult to find. Light wear to gilding on handle. (VG). $54 net.
