This enlisted man's tin cup is of a slightly different size than usually encountered. This particular example measures 3 3/4" tall to the lip. The majority of these measure 4" tall.
I have spoken to individuals who have dug civil war campsites who have mentioned finding numbers of examples of this smaller sized cup
This example is in fine condition and retains a substantial amount of the original tin plating. The handle is wired with the wires wrapped around the upper rim. The lower handle is riveted and soldered to the cup body.
