<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1966785, member: 111&quot;]Eh, I sold one of the spoon &amp; fork sets years ago, but my memory isn&#039;t what it used to be, so I just can&#039;t remember how much research I did, or if there were more pieces, like a cup, bowl, etc. - Gorham and other manufacturers did a lot of acid-etched fairy tale and nursery rhyme childrens&#039; patterns like this in the late 19th - early 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty sure it&#039;s based on Brothers Grimm stories, from &#039;The Hare and the Hedgehog&#039; on the spoon, and &#039;Hans in Luck&#039; on the fork.&nbsp; In 1898, Gorham changed their numbering system, the fork below, with a different style trademark than yours, would be earlier production (no worry on your backward &#039;N&#039;, just a tired die-cutter, see it occasionally, especially &#039;N&#039;s and &#039;S&#039;s)...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246926[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246927[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]246928[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
