Some fun today

I suspect NCOWS types will apprecate this bit of research

I've had in my family a cup, it came to me from my Great Grandfather William Ragland of Jeffersontown Ky.
It is sterling silver with a makers mark  
Scovil, Willey & Co.
Research shows Pulaski Scovil and Bushnell Willey were silversmiths in Cincinnati, OH  1836-1837.  
Pulaski Scovil, born 28 Jan 1808, died 26 Mar 1884 ... He was a partner in 1836 with Bushnell Willey in Cincinnati OH as SCOVIL, WILLEY & Co.
Scovil worked as a silversmith in Cincinnati OH from 1830 to 1844.

My cup has Scroll engraved R , I would date the cup 1836-7
I have found a similar cup with an identical rim & base call a Mint Julip Cup
and within 1/8" same in diameter.

That said, I am set for the National Congress of Whiskey Samplers at the convention  
So the cup will return home so to speak...

Neat!

As I hope you will be drinking the whisky in that cup ....

The cup and you need to return to Louisville for the KY Derby. Mint julips flow like water and a fine vintage julip cup is always appreciated.
