I got a reply from Gorham in response to my inquiry regarding the re-issued pieces in 1995 for the 100th anniversary of Chantilly. Unfortunately, the information doesn't quite jibe with the article I found that first mentioned these pieces. That article stated that there would be 6 re-issued pieces.

The email states:
"The reissued pieces are the following;

Platter Spoon
Entrée/Macaroni Server
Mustard Spoon
Large Flat Handle Butter Knife
Ice Spoon
Lettuce Salad Fork
Lettuce Salad Spoon
Long Olive Spoon
Long Olive Fork

The new pieces included the following;

Small Cheese Scoop
Sugar Sifter
Ice Tongs
Asparagus Server
Asparagus Tongs
Punch Ladle"

I have been able to verify the existance of the ice spoon, Large Flat Handle Butter Knife, Small Cheese Scoop and Sugar Sifter. Does anyone else have or have seen the other pieces listed?

Thanks

I have owned two of the 100 year pieces that have been marked.. One was the platter spoon, the other was the leaf lettuce fork.

I have owned new, but unmarked with the 100 year mark, The Entree/Mac server, large FH butter knife, long olive fork and olive spoon.

The thinking,in the community, is that Gorham turned out some of the pieces without the 100 year mark.

It has been 5 years since I have seen any marked "100 year" pieces, and Chantilly is still my best seller.
