I came across this today while trying to get back to work on the supplement to the BOS. I can’t remember if I shared this with you before... Just in case here it is again.  IP: Logged |

This piece is pictured in one of the flatware photo books in the Gorham Archives (John Hay Library, Brown University, Providence, RI). It is labeled as an ice cream slicer, no. 666 (no pattern name). The photo is code-dated Y (= 1892). I have an example of this piece in my collection, all silver-gilt. Also pictured in the archives is a fish serving set in this pattern, labeled only no. 620, and also code-dated Y. The late collector Willis H. (Hank) Thompson of North Carolina had several lidded tureens by Gorham, with the finial on the lid being the same lion holding a shield as on the flatware.

I had an English server with a very similar lion, but it was from 1863, leading me to believe that this lion leaning against a shield is a specific symbol. IP: Logged |

I have a friend(met him today  with a very similar unmarked piece. I will try to post a picture of it. It is a napking ring with a very similar figural lion, and similar cartouche. It tests sterling, and is definately american, more later.IP: Logged |
