PAULO 75th ANNIVERSARY

This month's mug is a great thrift store find!  The mug is all dark with a logo on both sides which says PAULO 75 YEARS with the dates above and below 1943 and 2018.   Though dark, I could tell that this may be a really interesting mug.  

My research found that In 1943, Ben and Pauline Rassieur rented a storefront near downtown St. Louis and decided to try to make a go of a business they weren’t sure would succeed. Today, PAULO is the largest privately-held commercial heat treater in the United States.

When hot liquids are added, the mug fully clears to reveal a fantastic wrap around picture of fire and something being heat treated.   I may not know what this company does, but this is a truly beautiful mug and is in near mint condition!
