Great gift for UMass Dartmouth alumni or collectors of historic college memorabilia.

Vintage ceramic beer stein featuring the crest of Bradford Durfee College of Technology dated 1969. Bradford Durfee was a historic engineering and technical college in Fall River, Massachusetts that later became part of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

This mug was produced by Nassau China in Trenton, New Jersey, a well-known manufacturer of durable restaurant and institutional china during the mid-20th century. Custom mugs like this were commonly produced for colleges and alumni shops, making them a nostalgic piece of campus history.

The front displays the college crest along with the motto “Semper ad Perfectum,” meaning Always Toward Perfection. The year 1969 adds to its vintage collegiate character.

A small “GIB” marking appears on the back of the mug, likely representing the original owner’s initials. It is not visible when the mug is displayed from the front.

The mug features a classic ivory glaze with raised decorative detailing and a traditional stein handle design. A wonderful addition to any college memorabilia collection or a thoughtful gift for a Bradford Durfee or UMass Dartmouth alumnus.

Good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear.
