I looked up some information on the internet and found that by the markings on the bottom that it was made by J Conning of Mobile AL.
The mug has an inscription on it that reads "B. F. S. to Rev. Wm. Spence". It appears to be in very condition but does need to be cleaned and polished. This mug is probably made of coin silver.
The tall chest measures 48" inches tall by 38 & 1/4" inches wide, by 20" inches deep, and features a bird motif in a cameo frame on the drawer fronts! The mirror measures 32" inches tall by 31 " inches wide. The nighstand measures 29" inches tall by 17" inches wide by 14" inches deep. The bench measures 24" inches wide by 14 & 1/2 " inches deep, b 17 & 1/2" inches tall. The chair back measures 37" inches tall, the seat measures 17" inches wide by 17 & 1/2" inches deep. The headboards each measure 49" inches tall, the footboards each measure 37" inches tall, and the bed frames each measure 39 & 1/4" inches wide inside the frame by 79" inches long inside the frame, for the boxsprings. Each footboard also has the same bird motif.
We got this set because we have another matching one - the only difference is that the other set doesn't have the bird motif on it.
