I went to an Estate Sale at this very old house about a week back in Battle Creek, MI. I came across this really old looking cup with a very pretty design on it and very fancy old looking handle. On the bottom it says in a circle "Victor Silver Co. Quadruple Plate" then within that circle is either a horse or unicorn. Above the design or logo it says B.C. I believe and below the logo its even harder to read but looks like either 61 or G1 or G l or something along those lines. I really havent been to find too much about this piece nor the company whom made it. Other than they or quadruple plated stopped on or before 1912 and could or does at least date back til least 1800s. Think the cup used to be silver but obviously with age its changed. On the few other pieces I have found online that might have a semi simialir design on them on the bottom they didnt have the BC above logo and the letters or numbers below logo there was at least 4 numbers. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about this piece. Like where it came from, how old it is, more about the company that made it and how much it might be worth. Etc.
