Rare Vintage DoD & U.S. Army Depot and Arsenal Coffee Cups

Description: As a U.S. Army Military Police Officer assigned to U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) during the mid-1980’s, I obtained these cups while performing security site surveys and/or security inspections at these various installations. Before my separation from the Army and move to Virginia, I carefully wrapped these cups within packing paper and placed them in a sealed plastic container with other military items and stored them in several of our smoke free homes in Virginia. However, since my wife and I significantly downsized during the relocation from Manassas, Virginia to Fort Myers, Florida our new condominium does not have the closet space to indefinitely store all my Army memorabilia. As a result, I am offering these rare vintage Department of Defense and U.S. Army Depot and Arsenal Coffee Cups for sale on eBay.
