Object #10


Timeline mug marked Decorated in Canada, 22k Gold, Can. Art China, Collingwood Ont. 100% Canadian, in mould marked Made in Canada, W80

Keith

His mother had taken the mug for being sacrilegious, as it dated the human eye and that pointing Dadaist hand at 1,000,000 B.C. As such he was surprised to find it in the attic a few years later, along with several boxes of old comics he had thought lost forever. Looking at it now, Keith had his own problems with the mug’s timeline. He was fairly certain horseback riding pre-dated 1860, and wasn’t so sure those modern looking headphones were standard in 1920. He had to admit though, it was still a pretty funky mug.
