I recently came across a whiskey glass that is reputed to have been Napoleons. It has an etched capital letter "N" underneath an etched crown. Aside from a flutted base it is otherwise plain and simple. It came with a letter hand-written in 1905 detailing the provenance and I believe it to be genuine. It documents
the sale of the glass along with other items from Tuilleries, Paris before 1889.
I would like to hear from anyone who may provide substantiating information on the authenticity, value, etc..
