Leonard cups

Know these were made by Leonard, but what I'm confused about is they don't have the epns stamp after Leonard. Know why?

 

EPNS stands for "electro-plated nickel silver" which would appear on silver plated items(a very thin layer of silver over a "nickel silver" base) - these just appear to be unplated brass or other yellow metal.

 

We'll need a better-focused picture to see the Leonard you say is there. There was a Leonard Silver Manufacturing Co in Massachusetts (established about 1969) that these might be from.

EPNS is usually seen only on British products, not US made.

 

These were the best I could take

 

Much better, Candice. Yes, this looks like the Leonard I was referring to. See their entry on this page.

Two observations - first, these are goblets, not cups (in case you are searching for comparable listings.)

Second, Leonard did make a small number of gold-electroplated flatware patterns, so these may be the color they are because they are also gold-electroplated. I could not find a match to the shape on Replacements.
