re: #28 PhillyPretzel

I know it probably does not matter to most folks commenting in this thread the china is Lenox and it is an older cup because of the shape of the cup. Nancy’s set was trimmed in red. This patten is probably the Eternal Gold and yes it is trimmed in 24 karat gold. Here is a current sample from Amazon. amazon.com

That doesn’t look like the same pattern. The Lenox cup is flared and Obama’s cup looks more rounded.
