I received this beautiful silver hand held mirror as a gift. It has a stamp on the side Gorham sterling 23. Does anyone have an idea on what this stamp means. thank you!

It means the mirror is made of sterling silver by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, a long time American silver maker. The 23 probably relates to a model number.

Thank you, June. This is the first substantial silver piece I have ever received, I hope it's not the last. Thanks for your help-Pam
