Antique Questions Forum / J Coatsworth & Son silver (?) cup

« on: August 20, 2011, 09:59:18 pm »

My grandma had this old 3" tall and 2 1/2" diameter metal cup that has the inscription "J Coatsworth & Son, Gallena Ill" on the bottom with "2 Warranted" (grade of metal?) inscription.  It has an old family member's initials (Will Stephens - WAS) inscripted on the front.  From our search on J Coatsworth and Son, we think it may be from the late 1800's but are not sure how long that company was around....   It sounds like they were manufacturers of clocks and watches.  We are trying to figure out the history of the cup.  Anyone have any insight?
