A bit about this manufacturer: Established in 1824 Reed & Barton is one of the oldest silversmiths in the United States. Founded in Taunton, Massachusetts, Reed & Barton grew from a small pewter shop into one of America's premier silversmiths, famous for high-quality sterling silver and silverplate. Known for their silver and silver-plated mastery throughout each era, the Reed & Barton Silversmiths division continued to produce a wide range of upper end items today including flatware, serveware, and barware. After creating silver and silver-plated pieces for decades, Reed & Barton officially came to an end in 2015. Their most popular, sought-after barware pieces include their figural silver-plated jiggers, their twisted handle bar spoons that have figural motifs, and their Julep cups. Reed & Barton pieces always bare the hallmark "Reed & Barton" or "R&B".
Hallmarks: Each cup is hallmarked "Reed & Barton" on the bottom along with the model number "256"
Condition: Great vintage condition. They still have their original blue/silver foil stickers on the bottom. There's quite a bit of tarnish the buyer can polish away, if they choose to, but overall the silver-plating is vibrant and in great shape. There's very minor "age" that comes purely from time but overall these cups are in very good vintage condition and display beautifully.
