Thank you Cheryl, As usual you add some really great info to our discussions. I noted the gorham pieces when I was deciding to gamble on buying...
Well I found their cousins...but doesn't appear to list the maker, only purity and time frame:...
Hi bakersgma :) I wasn't wearing blue, in fact i'm not even in the room when the photo gets taken; I have a blue backdrop that covers my photo...
I actually hadn't polished them, I think one was dipped in a solution to get the tarnish off (not my preferred look since it takes all the age out...
Well another item arrived in the mail today, and I can't wait to show you. This was another blind purchase, without knowing for sure what I was...
Good evening all, I've been very busy so sorry for not posting as much as usual. I've been finding lots of treasures, I just haven't had space in...

Hi again everyone, I got this gem in the mail today and I'm hoping someone can help me identify the markings. The seller stated multiple times to...
Beautiful score! And unique marks, not ones I've seen before either.
You did great with your comments houseful. The other pieces were very promising looking to me. So if you concluded this set had potential, you did...
