    Hey all I havent posted here in awhile!! I hope everyone is doing well. I have finally found something worth posting here in hopes of IDing these two pieces. I paid under scrap for both and knew they were very old pieces. I however know nothing about the maker marks or origins. I know the coins on the beaker are Danish so I assume it is a Danish piece. The mug I don't know, I would think English but it has no hallmarks for England.... I am stumped! Any help?

    Here is the beaker. It has strange letters engraved at the top, I pictured all of them!

    The coins are Danish West Indies

    Edit,
    Now known as the Virgin Islands of the United States

    12 and 24 Skillings, the words Shilling and Schilling are all intertwined

    I have some British West Indies coins called Anchor Money, Quarter and one Eighth Dollars, very collectable.

    I thought the engraving style on the first piece was really lovely but I'm in love with that cup! What an eye-catching piece.
