| This highly-unusual item is a collapsible, pocket-sized drinking cup in the form of a pocket watch. The inscription on the front above and below the applied bird figure reads, "Have a ---- with me". Since the bird appears to be a barn swallow, then, I am assuming it means, " Have a swallow with me". The item measures 3 1/4" loop handle to base, 2 1/8" wide, and 1" deep. It is unsigned American silver plate, late Nineteenth Century and in excellent condition with the exception of a missing clasp to securely lock the piece, at one time part of the wind-like mechanism on the top. | ||||||
