We call that patina…
I use that word a bunch when referring to my coffee cups. LOL
PapaSop Sounds like my strange thing where I do not like to wash my coffee cups with soap if I can help it, just a through rinse. I know that sounds strange & unhygienic, but I have always been like that & as far as I know, never got sick over it. Of course I used one cup for over 30 years until Margaret broke it. I had another just like it for 10 before that & the same thing happened. Hopefully this one will be it.

bocephus nice, that’s somewhere between a large breaking knife and a sabre. It’s kinda hard to see with that big orange glare. Maybe you could take a better pic with a nice pleasing to the eyes blue background.
GWG8541 Like cold Blue Steel, they go so good together!

Yeah, soap rarely touches my coffee cup. Just a rinse. -

GWG8541 I think it is the perfect background, I use the knife for a few things but especially when slicing watermelon.

LOL. You and calldoctoday, get some sunglasses. That “Orange” glare is the way.
Blue is cold and I’m freezing my a$$ off right now. -

bocephus I bet its a perfect slicer. Just knowing who it came from makes that the perfect knife.

GWG8541 You guys would love it down here, maybe, for a while. We thought we were getting another round today of what we think is cold, but instead the weather did a flip on us & it has been in the 80s. I am not sure what to say. It probably is not all over yet.

It might get up to 23 tomorrow. A frigging heat wave. I’m over it!

calldoctoday This is my coffee cup, I have had it for over 35 years, it might get washed once a year, just rinsed or wiped out the rest of the time. I always worry that I will drop it sometime and break it. Notice the company on it, they are long gone and the brewery is now on the National register of historic places and only 30 miles from me. I visited it regularly to get free beer.

johnsbrewhouse When I was younger, my Grandma liked drinking Olympia in their little 6 oz cans. She said she could finish one before it got warm.

Drank some myself back in the day. Was cheaper than a 12pk of Coke.
One mug I have got chipped somehow, had to retire it, not to the trash, but to a display case. Just can’t get rid of a gift I guess, especially when it has meaning. -
I inherited two of these from my grandmother but this one is in good condition. They used these for steam canning back in the day. The original patent is 1907 and they were built for twenty some years. Certainly a depression era appliance. I’m excited to do some cooking on this on top of a wood burning stove. The bottom is copper and the body is a heavy tin with a double walled door.
Water can be added without opening it up via a funnel up top and the funnel will whistle when getting low on water. It can be used to can or steam food or just to create a stove top oven.

RafterW very nice I can’t wait to hear about your first cook on it.

RafterW That is an interesting steamer and in decent condition as well.
