This was my husband's great uncle's punch bowl set who was a Colonel in the military and he was a very promenate man.Ā We know that Senators and the likeĀ haveĀ dined using this set.Ā Ā His uncle might have even bought it out of the country or a governor official might have given it to them as a gift.Ā For all we know the president could have given it to him because he was such an important man.Ā Some of the gold is worn from use but I do not see any flaws.Ā Ā I asked my uncle about these pieces because he has collected glass for many years and he said that it looks like depression glass from 20's - 40's era and that it is 24kt. Gold rimmed. Ā If anyone has any info please let us know.Ā We have searched and searched to no avail on the net for info.Ā Ā Thanks
