Can anyone identify the pattern of a Gorham sterling flatware service (circa 1940s?) which I inherited? It is contemporary in design, very heavy, totally plain except for an 18karat gold "bullet" (?) on the end. The mark is "Gorham Sterling", the in separate boxes "&" and "18k". On another topic, what do the letters "E.P.N.S." stand for? Does this mean plated? (It appears on a number of other inherited items, all with varied markings) Thank you! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ariane, With plain patterns it is very difficult to identify a pattern based solely on a description. It would be much more helpful if you would post a photo or a detailed drawing. Also helpful is a photo of the marks. As it regards your other question about "E.P.N.S.", it means Electro Plated Nickel Silver. In other words, it means silver plate. IP: Logged |

Ariane, Your flatware is in Gorham's pattern "Gold Tip," introduced in 1952. I hope this helps you. Best, IP: Logged |
