Thank you Bill and Lint for your help, I am always worry when a set is "light".
Thank to for the tip about the clear coat Lint |

I would love to know what that big chop cup is. It was given to me by a friend who was cleaning out his magic closet many years ago. He had it all set up for Larry Jennings' routine, involving a shot glass and a silk.
Help, O Bill the Cupmaster? |

I like the Harries Boscos...yes, they are light, but not feather-light. What's good about them is the height...they can be seen from just about anywhere. That's a set of them in the back to the left of my photos; the smaller, similar-style cups slightly in front of them are P&Ls.

Might be a Morrissey. It's hard to tell from the angle of the photo. Bill Palmer will probably have the definitive answer.

Francois, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I am completely in love with my Harries cups. They are just the right weight for the size of the cups. I first thought they might be too heavy, but once I had them, I found them to be perfect in weight.

Thank you Rick, and you all gentlemen, it seems that I was mistaken myself with the weight of these cups.
I am seriously going to think about buying a set. I like their "old style look". They could almost came from a 19th century escamoteur table, who was performing in Paris at "The Tuileries Garden". Thanks for your help. |

Some of you guys have been around for so long to have these cups, geez, I can't wait for the time when I can say that I have whatever fancy cups.

Morrissey has been spinning cups continuously for about 50 years. They had the first combo sets, and they have managed to keep the prices low for a very long time.

One of the sets on the far left of my photos is a Morrissey combo set circa 1970. At the front of the group is a small Morrissey chop cup, about the same vintage.

Thank you Bruce.
I am now very impatient to add the "Bosco cups" from Harrie to my collection. I am waiting for a set very soon. |

James…. You have a great collection of Cups, they all look so good. The Eric Hansen Chop Cups look fantastic and I enjoyed seeing your magic library.
Thanks for posting the picture, Bruce |

Thanks Bruce!
For the time being I keep my cups on the book shelf, but I am looking for a cabinet of some kind to give them a special place of their own. No luck so far... Thanks again, DC
