Author	Topic: help pattern id ?
sadie Posts: 2 Registered: Apr 2002	posted 04-20-2002 10:09 PM Can someone please help? I have 2 spoons I think are Gorham, they have a 'T' in a triangle the lion, anchor, and I think it is a 'G' immediately after the 3 marks the word sterling. On the thinnest part of the back of the spoon is the name J. W. Sanders. There are 5 roses in a horseshoe pattern on the end of the handle in front, and 3 roses on the back of handle and a beaded design going the full length of the handle on both sides. I have spent hours trying to ID this to no avail. Can someone 'please' confirm if it is Gorham. And what the pattern might be. Thank you. I just acquired about 40 pcs. Sterling and have gotten the rest, but this one I can't. Louise IP: Logged

The "T" in the triangle might stand for the spoons' weight--i.e., "trade," which means, I think, 9 ozt. of silver per twelve teaspoons. IP: Logged
