Charming baby cup has a 3D repousse image of young marching boys in a drum line, including tooting horn and hobby horse. Child's cup is not monogramed or engraved. Cup is clearly marked with Gorham's old hallmarks {lion / anchor / "G"}, Model number A4708, and word "Sterling". Probably dates to after 1933 since no date code mark.
Base rim edge fixable for the right craftsman (would make the difference between a $600 cup and a $250 one).
Silver weight is 96 grams.
Dimensions:
Top diameter: 3.25"
Bottom diameter: 2.75"
Widest point with handle: 4"
Height: 2.5"
Condition: Decent for its age, better on sides than on base edges. Because of inherent softness of silver, usually baby cups are bashed all around the base. Clearly significant issues around base as seen in last five photos, but fixable for the right craftsman (would make the difference between a $600 cup and a $250 one). I see two flat spots either side of upper handle as seen in photo #11. No other mentionable issues. Top rims and sides are free of pings, dings, dents, and scratches.
Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only
charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all
possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear
redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues
between side views.
I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage
unless there was a significant error in my description. The item
listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my
knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question
or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer
to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your
purchase.
Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a
history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw
which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this
does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require
comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
