Title: Silver Goblets with Animal Head Bases
Post by: rjmckenney on January 08, 2005, 02:47:52 PM

I recently was given 8 silver or silverplated goblets that have animal heads as their bases. There is an owl, rabbit, dog, horse, rooster,fox, buck, and deer. Does anyone know how old these might be? Thank you

A bit more info?  Your jeweler can tell you if it's plate or sterling.  Also, look on the bottom - are there symbols, names, anything like .925 or .800 which indicates silver content?  (.925 is sterling).  Looking forward to your next post - maybe I can help identify -     KB      :(
