Gorham sterling silver pepper shaker. Most important... it is not weighted :)

What's the year it is??? Thanks

 

If you are lucky, you may be able to find one of the "date marks" displayed on this page - https://www.925-1000.com/Gorham_Date_Code.html

 

There is so much wear it's hard to tell whether the 1913 "3-leaf clover" is impressed to the right of the word sterling. That would be a likely place to start looking.

 

yeah. 1913 could be the right sign of date.
Thank you for your help. You always helped me a lot. Love you.

 

The 'GORHAM M'F'G. CO.' mark on sterling pieces (also seen as 'GORHAM M'F'G Co) would be a retailer mark - though very worn, can still make out the 'shield w/fleur-de-lis' mark of Philadelphia based Davis & Galt, they probably date circa 1890...

Wow. Thanks. I didn't even know this. Thank you so much.

 

Here's another Davis & Galt piece retailed by Gorham: https://fineart.ha.com/itm/silver-h...-de-lis-in-shield-gorham-m-f-g/a/5025-71397.s

Where do you see that mark, Cheryl? Not that I disbelieve, just cannot see it anywhere for all the wear.

 

Thank you very much for your information. I check the mark of my peper shaker. It is exactly the same mark as this. Thank you

 

Yeah, I tried my take clear photos but they are just lowww-Definition. my cell phone is poor. I broke my samsung and replaced with a free moto.... that moto is suuuu....ccc....kkk.........it's like made before 2010. I gonnna change a new one.

 

I get it now. Had to make your original picture much larger to see it.

 

It was pretty difficult to make out, but most of the time, this Gorham retailer mark will be combined with either Davis & Galt's shield, Shiebler's winged 'S', or Ludwig, Redlich & Co.'s fleur-de-lis or sea-lion marks - the repousse work was more what I'd expect from Davis & Galt, so it made it easier...
