Vintage Yale School of Medicine Coffee Mug | Gold Rim | Collegiate Licensed

The Yale School of Medicine has been around since 1810, when it first opened as the Medical Institution of Yale College. That's more than 200 years of training doctors, conducting research, and contributing to the history of American medicine. Over the years, the school has become one of the country's best-known medical institutions.

One interesting part of that history is the Yale System of Medical Education, introduced in the 1920s. Rather than putting all the emphasis on grades and competition, the school encouraged students to take responsibility for their own education and develop their curiosity about medicine. It's a tradition that helped give Yale School of Medicine its own identity.

About the Mug

This is a vintage white ceramic Yale School of Medicine coffee mug featuring the school's crest on the front, a slightly flared lip, and gold trim around the rim.

One detail worth noting is the original K & M Nordic Co., Inc. sticker still attached to the bottom. The company was located in Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts, and the sticker identifies the mug as an officially licensed collegiate product.

The mug has a classic vintage appearance, with its flared lip, gold-trimmed rim, and original collegiate licensing sticker. There is some wear to the gold trim, which can be seen in the photographs.

It's a nice piece of Yale memorabilia, particularly for someone who attended the medical school, worked there, or has a connection to the university.

Please look over the photographs for a closer look at the mug and its condition. It will be carefully packaged for shipping.
