The concept of a vertical ball
and cup had already existed for
decades
by the time of the civil war. We have found one illustration of a girl playing with a ball
and cup similar in appearance to the one we carry except no handle is in evidence.
The design we have selected for
this ball and cup is similar to but smaller than a ball and cup in the
children's room at Arlington House, the pre-war residence of Robert E.
Lee. The guides there responded to our question about the toys by
telling us that Lee may have brought them back from Mexico.
