Morrisey Chop Cups?

Postby Ray Eden » March 10th, 2014, 3:40 pm

Is Morrisey still manufacturing it's large Chop Cup? I need to replace mine, but everywhere I've looked online seems to read OUT OF STOCK. I have several Chop Cups, but none that I like better than the flat-based Morrisey.

Morrisey is out of business.

Well...that answers that. My followup question would have to be...is anyone manufacturing a flat bottomed chop cup like The Morrisey?

Pretty much (unless they come as part of a cups and balls combo set) all chop cups have a flat bottom. HERE is a large selection from RnT.

There's a Morrisey chop cup currently up for bids on eBay:

That one on eBay appears to have two photos showing two different models. One photo is of a tapered Chop Cup and the other photo shows an alternate model. Anyone else seeing what I am seeing there?

I also noticed that discrepancy. However, I've seen photos of cups taken at a high angle that practically distorted their appearance. If I were bidding on this item, I would contact the seller to clarify this.

I actually just ordered what I thought was a Morrisey Chop Cup from EBay. Turns out...it wasn't. I'll check with the seller on this one.
