Author	Topic: picture frame by Gorham. Pewter?
toy.juwvipart@gte.net unregistered	posted 05-15-2000 04:12 AM I purchased an interesting little child's picture frame by Gorham - I believe it is Pewter. The mark on the side says: GORHAM E P YC 158 - The picture frame itself is a humpty dumpty on the left and the letters A through Z framing the picture frame. Thanks from Toy IP: Logged
Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 05-15-2000 09:02 AM The E P stands for Electro Plate, so it is silver plate. It may look like pewter if most of the silver has been polished off; check inaccessible nooks and crannies for remnants ot the silver plate. Depending on the age of the frame, the base metal may be Britannia, which is actually a high grade pewter. IP: Logged
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 04-05-2003 05:13 PM "YC 158" (or YC158) is what Gorham would have called the production number. Silverplate production numbers with the "Y" prefix were used after World War II. Could the "C" stand for copper? I don't know. IP: Logged
