Hi Allison,
A little history about the Rockford Silver Co. It was originally called Racine Silver Co and was founded in 1873. When the original building burnt down in 1873 they moved the company to Rockford Illinois and assumed the name Rockford Silver Co. In 1925 a man of the name Raymond Sheets purchased Rockford Silver Co. and again changed the name, this time to Sheets-Rockford Silver Co. Your step mother's silver cup definitely has value. I would place it's value in the $25-75 dollar range. Here's a link to a similar Rockford silver co. cup that sold for $45 dollars: Rockford Silver Co. cup Thanks for sharing. |
