gitana Posted February 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2017 I have one of these, dated 1942, and supposedly Owen-Illinois only made zinc or tin cups in 1942. Would anyone happen to know if they made either zinc, OR tin, or both? The cup I have does not look like tin, and I'm not exactly sure what a zinc cup looks like.Here's the manufacturer's label (not mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted February 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2017 I think it would be zinc plated tin, also known as galvanized. A tin cup would rust and a zinc cup would be too fragile to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
