[GreenKeys] Coffee Mug

[craig andrews]

More info than you want, but I bought a full color coffee cup in 1973 at the boy scout jamboree and it was a few dollars.  So full color custom graphic cups were not overly exotic in ‘73.  I also bought a jamboree branded “pocket” transistor radio which was close to $15 and much more impressive at the time.  I went to the jamboree with a $20 so I know the combined was less than that.  Still have them both. 

I can’t remember what I decided to have for supper yesterday but I remember making this decision almost 50 years ago.

>> Yes the car looks ‘70s.  Also the cab over truck fell out of favor in the US by ‘76 when the length law was repealed and the number of cab overs on the road quickly fell off. So if art imitates reality, certainly not before ‘56 and up to late ‘70s is a good guess.
