Antique Questions Forum / Re: Please help me identify this silver cup

Thanks for everyone's help. Any direction that you can give me is very much appreciated.

There are no visible marks on the cups anywhere. They feel like and tarnish like silver. I cleaned one up to take pictures of it.

The rest of the back story is that my grandfather was president of a regional grocery chain in the 50s and 60s. At some point, a beer distributor, he remembers Budweiser, gave these cups to him as a gift. They were going to throw them away and I thought they were too unusual to pass up.

Hello, I was given a set of 8 of these silver cups from my grandparents. They told me that they were from Budweiser but I have not confirmed this. My best guess is that these cups were made between 1950 and 1970, but again not sure. I have not been able to find any information about them.

The base (drinking portion) is definitely solid silver and the top is a golden eagle--perhaps gold leaf over pewter but I am not sure.

Any information or even guesses would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
