Mustache cup! As a teen, I bought a “mouse-tache” mug for my sister’s husband (the mug looked like a mouse, and it had that plate thing across it). I wonder if they still have it? He still has his mustache!

Laura, the mystery item is a mustache cup. Kept the mans mustache from getting hot liquids onto it, which would melt his mustache wax.
