One of a larger set of three remaining monogrammed silver cups that once belonged to Brigadier General William Scott Ketchum. I speculate there may have been a set of four at one time. I believe them to be made of "coin silver" and monogrammed, of course, with the initials "WSK." They look to be well used. I can only wonder when he used them, where he used them, and what he may have poured into them. With whom did he share a drink with and what did they discuss? They have been kept in the family's possession since his untimely death in 1871.
