Memphis, Tennessee coin silver cup or mug with beaded rims, hollow squared double C scroll handle, and presentation engraving "To Robert Brinkley Snowden from his grandmother Snowden, March 19, 1869." Marked on underside in rectangles: F.H.CLARK & CO. and MEMPHIS along with GW&H for Gale, Wood and Hughes (New York). 3 1/2" H, 5.06 oz troy.

Robert Brinkley Snowden was the couple's firstborn son. Several other pieces of silver, documents, and paintings that descended in the family are also being offered in this auction.
