Hello,

I have 5 of these cups, I think they may be silver although they are not specifically marked silver.

I would like to know if they are-

Silver or plate
Any history regarding the cups themselves

Coin silver seems possible here. The items are “julep cups”, sometimes used for presentation reasons (and maybe horse trade related). You can find the same form with a handle attached, and from Bell Brothers. Can you read the inscriptions?

::::: Are there inscriptions (or monograms) on the cups? That might help with the history of the cups, but I don't see any inscriptions (or monograms)? ::::::

Top row top right cup has something above that dent zone, but you can only spot it at the hosting site where the images are a bit clearer.

::::: Good catch, it does look like an inscription/monogram on that one particular cup. ::::::::
