Brown Phenolic Ciup

[sfmike1]

Found & added to my '42 Coconut - a brown phenolic cup. Not modern injection molded, definitely phenolic resin. All details match my other period black (and green) cups. Only a VERY faint mark...looks like "FZ...." or "F7..." (in a circle).

Anyone else (Mulon) have more info on this rare type?

You outbid me to ! I was second in line !

Well.....at least one of us got it

It's in almost perfect condition. Does anyone know the date(s) that this variation might have been produced?

Thanks everyone for your comments!

F7 is the maker mark, sadly not known as no complete list exits. The circle you refer to is the materialprüfungsamt logo.

Nice find

Thank you Simon.

It could also be F2 (but I doubt it) as this company made electrical components;

Franz Strauch, Preßwerk, Unterrodach/Oberfranken, Bavaria.

may I ask where an item such as this was sold....eBay? Very nice Piece, and a lucky find.

Yes, eBay. The seller did not know what he had however.

Even so buyers should exercise caution as MPA marked items continued to be marked in such a way well into the 1950's.
