    Description

    VERY RARE SHRINERS CONVENTION COMMEMORATIVE MUG W/ FISH HANDLE - ATLANTIC CITY - JULY 13, 1904
    Measures approximately 3 3/8" high by 2 5/8" in diameter at the top.
    Excellent original condition.  Only the tiniest scratches in a few places and some very tiny fleabite chips on the underside - see last photo.
    One side says, "Syria Pittsburg, PA"
    Another side shows a sailboat and says, "Atlantic City July 13 1904"
    This mug has the wonderful spelling of 'Pittsburg' without the final 'h' at the end.  For a brief ten years, from 1891 to 1911, the official spelling of the city's name was temporarily changed to 'Pittsburg.'
    To this day, the city's name is commonly misspelled as
    Pittsburg
    because innumerable cities and towns in America make use of the German
    -burg
    suffix, while very few make use of the Scottish
    -burgh
    suffix.
