I don't think they would of sold hundreds & hundreds upon thousands of these mugs to the armed services men/women from WW2 of the Navy, Armed forces, etc & Korea up to the end of production in 1987 do you??, & of course every restaurant, diner in the country that bought them?..

The thing is, Craig, no one knew about that stuff in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Or if they did, it wasn't a concern. At 62, I'm not overly concerned but maybe some younger members would be.
Point is, it doesn't matter how many they sold, lead in glazing was pretty common once upon a time.
Here's a link to what I was sent which got me to wondering about my Victor mugs:

It's funny. I've got (or will have shortly) six of these Victor mugs and four of the Homer Laughlin 300 series mugs. I'm the only person who likes these diner mugs in our household (my wife prefers a big stainless thermal mug). So can someone explain why I continue to look for even more Victor mugs??

Craig and Rob,
Sweet posts.
I've been out of the country for a couple weeks. Yes, there seems to be something magical about these mugs. I'm glad you were able to acquire some. I enjoy mine every day.
I'll have to re-measure mine for capacity. Perhaps I got some variants.
