<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 10465728, member: 111&quot;]It&#039;s been twenty years since I participated in a discussion about a Gorham piece with an ivory handle, my opinion was a bon-bon or nut spoon and remember thinking that I wanted one like it.&nbsp; Three years later an article on Gorham&#039;s ivory pieces was published in The Magazine Antiques identifying the form as a &#039;bonbon scoop&#039; with six different variants, and six years ago, felt lucky when I happened on one that fit my budget, No. 525, date-marked for 1891 (4-1/2&quot; X 2&quot;).&nbsp; Was surprised recently to find another at a reasonable price, No. 510, date-marked for 1890 (5-3/8&quot; X 2-1/2&quot;), the seller&#039;s images didn&#039;t show how bright the gilding remained, so a nice surprise. The group pics have the two Gorham pieces along with a coffee spoon in Whiting Mfg.&#039;s lovely No. 2888 &#039;Ivory&#039; pattern (1891 patent D20636).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526460[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526462[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526463[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526464[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526465[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526466[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]526467[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="5">Just a few more coming...</font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
