Set of 6 Scearce Kentucky Nixon-Era Sterling Silver Mint Julep Cups

Offered by: Nelson and Nelson Antiques

Description
Six sterling silver mint julep cups. Made by Scearce in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Each: Straight and tapering sides, and beaded and molded rim and foot. A great Nixon-era set evocative of social and political tensions from half a century ago. Fives cups from the Silent Majority first term—silent because knocking back the bourbon—and one from the curtailed second term that is perfect for embattled solo drinking. Fully marked including maker’s stamp and presidential initials RMN. One has Roman numeral II. Very good condition.

Dimensions: H 3 7/8 x D 3 1/8 in. Total weight: 27.8 troy ounces. #CB400
