Description

Antique Japanese Military 1920 Air Unit Commemoration Army Sake CupThis is an antique Japanese military sake cup, decorated with the word "Congratulations" in the center and a star. The words on the outside are "2nd Air Battalion 2nd Turnaround Commemoration" and "Taisho 9th Year November 11th". I'm not entirely sure what this was for but this would be a very early period in Japanese military aviation, this is probably for some kind of maneuver testing at the time. Condition: The edge is a bit rough at around 10

The words on the exterior are "Great Japanese Wounded Soldier Association Tokyo Area Kyobashi District Branch Association"

Condition: Excellent - light surface wear mostly on the back
