<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1638265, member: 111&quot;]I&#039;ve seen that same Old English letter mark on Whiting before, and Gorham and Durgin marks were stamped together, guessing that&#039;s the reason that Scott suspected Gorham.&nbsp; Found no information on the mark in Carpenter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the chart on Giorgio&#039;s site, I haven&#039;t seen it before either, may have come from an article published somewhere - should keep in mind that if pattern numbers are in sequential order, it&#039;s only an indicator of when it was designed, not when made, and the additional letters mentioned were added when the pattern was modified with additional chasing, engraving, etching, etc., and I&#039;ve never seen other than a serif letter, often engraved rather than stamped. </p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;Patent Applied For&#039; may apply to the design or it may be for the blown glass technique (which may not have belonged to Whiting), these pieces were made in green and blue in addition to the red, somewhere in the back of my mind, think one of the open salts appears in one of my books, but not able to look right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>On value - look for items that actually sold rather than just asking prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all I&#039;ve got, have a new Gorham book, doubt there&#039;s anything relevant in it, but can look later - gotta run now...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
