These are real and they were a promotional item from 1967 and have nothing to do with the 1950's. Newspaper ad said to come in to your local RCA store to look and test out the new RCA TV's and you will get a free cup set. (They also had a pen & pencil set if you didn't want the cup set) It was highly advertised around Sept '67 in Sunday's newspaper. I also have a set of both items never used that I got from Gray's TV & Appliance here in Knoxville in 1967. McClung Appliance Wholesale Distributors built a huge new warehouse about the same time and there was a big splash for them as well touting RCA products in their open house tour of the facility. RCA went all out for color TV in 1967.
BTW, Somewhere I still have that newspaper!
