Description

A plastic travel mug/thermos, branded to Texaco Food Mart. Description This is a double-walled travel mug/thermos, in red plastic, with a removable lid (also in red plastic). The mug is barrel-shaped, with a consistent shape from the lip to the base (which rounds under). At the top of the mug is a tall lip and at the base of the lip is a flat disc that is slightly wider than the rest of the body. The body of the mug is coloured black, with the following design details: In the upper portion of the mug is Texaco's round start logo (red circle, white star, red "T"); below the logo is the red block text "TEXACO"; and underneath again is the white block text "Food Mart". These design elements appear twice, on either side of the handle. Running around the circumference of the mug (a medium-thickness line on top, and a thick line at the bottom). The handle is tall and rectangular, with rounded corners. The lid fits inside of the lip of the mug and secures with a double ring of ridges. The drinking side has a sunken area leading to a small rectangular hole. On the opposite side is a small hole and a hooked tab for assistance in removing the lid. On the base of the mug, on the lightly recessed surface are the following moulded details: "22oz. THERMOS"; "HOT!/COLD!"; and "WHIRLEY INDUSTRIES, INC.; WARREN, PA, U.S.A." Old Description (Kelsey Dalrymple, 2/10/2020): Plastic 22oz travel mug. Black with red handle and lid. Red and white Texaco star and "Texaco Food Mart" on the sides. Bottom reads, "THERMO / HOT! / COLD!"
