A Pair of Vintage, Sterling Silver Goblets celebrating 1900th Anniversary of the City of York.
 
In 1971 a series of souvenir Goblets were produced in Sterling Silver to commemorate the 1,900th anniversary of the foundation of the city of York, England. This is a consecutive pair of those Goblets. These were a strictly limited edition of 1,900 pieces. The two are numbers 1495 and 1496.
