\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nowadays a ‘Moustache Cup’ would have a curly handlebar printed on the edge so drinkers look like they’ve got a dastardly ‘stache<\/h2>\n

But this is not your hipster’s coffee cup \u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See the bit of moustache wax under “Las<\/em>“? That’s the real deal, folks.<\/p>\n

Moustache Cups <\/em>had a protective strainer built-in so your ‘stache wouldn’t get soaked \u00a0<\/h2>\n

We spotted this one in a Petaluma<\/strong> antique shop. Many (including the shop owner) confuse them with the Barber Cup<\/em> variety which also had strainers; but were for edging off excess foam from the shaving brush, not for drinking. Supposedly, John Lennon<\/strong> drank from a Moustache Cup<\/em> while recording Sgt. Pepper\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n
