William Gale of New York City has a long lineage in the world of 19th century silver manufacturing. He worked alone and in various partnerships and was known for producing to a sterling standard early, in a period when most other manufacturers stayed with a coin standard. This 8 1/8" long tea or dessert knife in his Italian pattern dates from about midway in his history and was produced when he was in partnership with his son. It is stamped on the blade, "W.

One of a numbered series, this 5 5/8" long orange spoon has its own character. It shares a three-lobed bowl with other spoons in the line. The handles vary from piece to piece.

The handle appears to have been cast rather than die struck, and is stamped on the plain backside with the Gorham lion, anchor, G, the word Sterling, and the number 574. The bowl retains very slight trace... Click for details

Gorham's Angelo dates c. 1870 and is something of an esoteric pattern. It is one of several hollow handle designs Gorham produced about this period for which there is scant documentation. There is a very large, full line set of this pattern in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Museum and examples of it are in circulation, but it tends to be a collector's pattern. This example is a 7 1/2" long place spoon, probably dessert or oval soup. The squarish tapered handle has... Click for details

The function of this 9 1/8" long server in Gorham's Medallion is uncertain. It has a large, broad serving end that is 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". While cupped, this is shallow. It also has a pointed tip and flanged shoulders. It is quite similar to the fried oyster server and ice cream spade (see Old Friends item 514b), and may be a fried egg server. In any case, it is an unusual piece in Gorham's Medallion pattern. It is also unusual because it does not carry a standard mark (only lion, anchor, G a... Click for details

This sterling silver teaspoon in Gorham's Versailles is an indisputable example of the 1888 version of that pattern. In addition to being stamped "Copyrighted," it is engraved on the reverse, "June 27th, 1895." It is 5 7/8" long and weighs just under 1.0 T. oz. Perhaps having been a presentation item saved it from use, as the pattern detail is exceptionally well-defined and crisp. The bowl is free of tip wear and without nicks or dings.
