Description
Rolled rims with milgrain bead work. Mark Scearce Shelbyville Kentucky. 3 3/4 inches 33.17 troy ounces Condition: Monogrammed N.B. Mark J. Scearce "Born from the rationing of silver during World War II and the tradition of English silversmiths. The Presidential Mint Julep Cup by Mark J. Scearce embodies tradition and opportunity."Perhaps the best customer we ever had was President Lyndon Johnson. After discovering our cups bearing his initials at a party hosted by Senator John Sparkman of Alabama, his secretary called for prices. He initially was not interested, but two weeks later personally called my grandfather. After a negotiation, another lasting relationship was established – President Johnson wrote letters to him over the years, before making a larger request. At the end of October one year, he called to ask for 650 cups for Department of State gifts by December 15th."
