<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 1309694, member: 5515"]Thank you for the help Cheryl, if the top line is an address, that actually makes great sense. I don't think I'll be able to truly get to the bottom of this one, but it's enough of an explanation for me to live with. The goblet is a bit dented up, and since I've nothing to lose I'm going to see if I can fix it up a bit. It will probably become my personal drinking cup. Since there's no real history to point to, it would have only brought scrap and I don't want to see a nice piece go to waste like that. On a related note, I found a really cool resource because you mentioned NYC. I was trying to identify the history of Worth Street (by the way, it got renamed to worth street in the 1850's so the timeline matched up) and I came across this wonderful site called Old NYC. It's essentially google maps for NYC in the 1800's based on historical photos. If anyone wants to check it out:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.oldnyc.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.oldnyc.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.oldnyc.org/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
