I am sold out of the solid white mugs but have several with green stripes 6 ounce Victors that are factory “B” grade. Since they are all hand painted, handles are put on by hand, and admittedly, each is unique. It is not unreasonable to blebs, blemishes, inconsistencies in the glaze. Victors are never perfect, but these may have a fleck of dust in the glaze or very minor paint imperfections. Always cosmetic and never functional. If you want mugs with character, there are the mugs for you. There are the VERY last of the NOS Victors from the early 80s. After all, THESEARE THE LAST NEW REMAINING VICTOR MUGS IN THE UNIVERSE.
These mugs are recognize as one of the great symbols of American diner culture. In addition to the frosty bottle of Coca-Cola, the warm, inviting shape of the classic Victor mug filled with hot, steaming coffee evokes an immediate memory of a happier time. It is easy to drink from this creamy white porcelain mug because of its thick, round, smooth-lipped design. The six ounces of coffee stay hot because of the superior construction. Each genuine Victor coffee mug Victor is imprinted on the bottom of each weighs more than a pound 1.3 to be exact, and is made of the finest fired clay porcelain. This excellent mug is virtually indestructible and remains the classic and easily recognized shape so sought after by collectors worldwide. Brand New old stock that has been in storage for decades. Each mug with green stripes has been hand painted. I am willing to discount for large quantity's. Just contact me please. Please check out my other auctions. Thank You for looking! |
A SHORT HISTORY OF VICTOR,
VICTOR INSULATOR AND THE
VICTOR MUG VICTOR ,NEW YORK
The Village of Victor is located in Western New
York State, seventeen miles east of Rochester.
The Village of Victor was incorporated in 1879.
At the hub of three railroads it quickly became
an industrial center of the region and is the
birth place of the wet process, high voltage
porcelain insulator.
VICTORINSULATORS
Look around you at every power pole in
your area and think Victor Insulators. Virtually
all porcelain insulator companies owe their
origins to the inventor, Fred Locke. He built the
Locke Insulator business in Victor in 1898 and
today it is known around the world as Victor
Insulators, Inc. Porcelain insulators are made of
high quality clays, combined with selected
minerals, glazed with colored pigments, then
fired in a 2,300 degree kiln. Standard and
custom shapes of insulators are still being
produced today
VICTORMUGS
In mid-century, Victor Insulators, Inc. added
chinaware to their product line. Chinaware uses
the same raw materials and production methods
and was a natural fit. WWII meant huge orders
from the services, especially the Navy and the
Army. After the War, diners and restaurants
asureda half-century of production. In 1990
production of this premier diner mug ceased due to foreign imports.
