Anuh Posts: 190 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 09-01-2003 01:29 PM Gorham did mark some of their patterns with letter designations that indicated the weight of the item. Could that E be an EX? ------------------ Anuh IP: Logged
WGS Posts: 136 Registered: Oct 99	posted 09-01-2003 03:15 PM Rainwater suggests that Gorham used "EH" for extra heavy. ------------------ IP: Logged
Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 09-01-2003 03:55 PM "E" stands for "Extra". This was a deceptive term, as "Extra" teaspoons weighed only 10 ozs. per dozen, whereas the regular weight teaspoons weighed 12 ozs. per dozen.
