PLEASE HELP



My parents lived in San Antonio, TX from 1953-1956. My father did translation work for individuals needing help with legal matters. He received these two pitchers as payment from someone who could not pay him. This individual was working at the construction site of the Alamo. He claimed that they came from the site. I did some research and the Alamo was under some renovations during that time period. I could not find any markings on them. They seem to be in good condition. On handle seems to have been replaced. They are very heavy. Is there any way to tell if they were from the Alamo time period? Thank-You!

Hi Dee Dee,

Your copper pitchers certainly look hand made and perhaps from that period, however without documentation showing proof they were used at the alamo, that fact doesn't add to their value. It's probably more likely they were used as props at the alamo, so would represent copper pitchers from that area. They are still valuable, even without documentation linking them to use at the alamo fort. I would give your copper pitchers a value of $300-400 a piece.

Thanks for sharing them with us, they're a wonderful piece of american history.
