including (top to bottom) D & H Number Ten, Blackinton "Thistle," and Gorham Cambridge which is monogrammed as shown. All are in excellent condition and average 4 1/2 inches. Total Troy weight 1.43 oz.

Price is for all four-- what a deal!! Make some fondue (remember fondue??) and invite a few friends over for dinner.

with engraved faintly gilt blade, the handle circular in section, length 9 1/8 inches, no monogram, excellent condition.

length five inches, excellent condition, monogrammed "MC" script reverse of bowl, weight .68 oz Troy. Items with this mark would appear to be scarce.

exceptionally colourful, gilt bowl, no monogram, excellent condition save for one small portion of missing blue inlay (see third photo). I hesitate to call this damage. Gorham had significant problems with the enameling process and it may be a slight "second".

length 7 1/8 inches, weight 1.56 Troy ounces, no monogram, some scratches on blade which we've pictured in excruciating detail (see third enlargement) but overall condition is far above average.

with applied foliage and a blossom over acid etched decoration on hammered background, gilt bowl, no monogram, excellent condition, length 5 3/4 inches, weight 1.60 Troy ounces, marked "sterling" overstruck by "c".

This unusual combination of etched and applied decoration lends the piece a three-dimensional quality which is quite successful, artistically.

7 1/2 inches long, weight 1.74 oz. Troy, excellent condition, gilt bowl, no monogram, retailed by Cox Brothers.

yes, just one lonesome pastry fork and monogrammed ("G" script, obverse) at that, length six inches, fine condition, weight .91 Troy ounces.

length 5 1/2 inches, excellent condition, no monogram, gilt tines, weight .89 Troy oz, marked as shown in third enlargement.

Is this the cheapest example on the entire Internet? No, it is not!! There's a sad, tired looking one on ebay which you can pick up for a bit less, but doesn't your collection deserve the best??

length 9 3/4 inches, weight 2.67 Troy ounces, engraved "from Mother" as shown in fourth enlargement.

Sadly, back in 1890 or so, "Mother" decided that she didn't want the giftees to know the identity of the original owner, and had their monogram wiped out. If you can live with this, then here's an opportunity to own a sturdy and useful piece of this desirable Gorham pattern at an attractive price.

length 9 inches, weight 2.54 Troy ounces, monogrammed "M" (obverse, Old English), fine condition, gilt bowl.

Marked only "sterling" and "Theodore B. Starr".

length 7 3/4 inches, three letter script monogram (reverse) as shown in enlargement number five, exceptionally fine condition, weight 1.36 oz. Troy, the blade well engraved with trailing bellflower decoration.

length 9 3/8 inches (3 1/8 inches across bowl) weight 2.85 Troy ounces, monogrammed "R" (script, reverse), fine condition, reasonably priced, gilt bowl, see third enlargement for marks.

length 5 3/8 inches, excellent condition, gilt bowl, no monogram, retailed by Hart Brothers. Unlike many of its alleged peers, this one is not "custom made" or "hand crafted" but an original product of Gorham some hundred and twenty-five years old.

Several years ago when Gorham was still in the Providence area and owned by Brown Forman, they decided to reissue some popular early patterns. We bought this piece "new and in the bag," though not directly from the factory. It has seen no use since then (1995 or so) and is in pristine condition. Length 9 inches, 3.06 oz. Troy, mark "Gorham Sterling." It is well worth a quick look at our third enlargement to see what a piece of Medallion flatware looks like, when freshly struck...

length 7 1/2 inches, weight 1.25 oz. Troy, monogrammed as shown in second enlargement, excellent condition. Often, Gorham's engraved decoration is unsuited to the pattern's theme, but here a classically engraved blade with wrigglework border goes well, stylistically, with the Greek bust woman's portrait.
