This cup and saucer combination were made by Gorham. Both pieces carry the lion, anchor, G hallmark, the number 230, and the word Sterling. These read like coin, and may date from Gorham's transition to sterling in 1868. The number suggests a mid 1860's period. They are a handsome matched pair, simply styled and with a crossed ribbon motif that repeats on the rim of the saucer, and lip and handle of the cup. The plate is 5 1/2" in diameter, sits on a 1 5/8" wide rimmed bas ...click for details

This solid silver tray is 9" in diameter and weighs a substantial 12.8 T. oz. It is stamped W. Gale & Son (NY), suggesting it was made between 1853-66. This dating is fully consistent with the style of the piece. There is a second, incused rectangle that is blurred, but the last portion are the letters ES, which may indicate Gale, Wood & Hughes, or Gale and Hughes, two Gales partnerships. There is no standard designation, but Gale went to sterling very early on, so this could be ...click for details

This coin silver goblet stands 5 7/8" high and weighs 4.7 T. oz. The top diameter is 3 1/4", and the base 2 3/4" across.

The lip and the bottom of the tiered base both have applied, beaded rolled borders. The body is engraved in a leaf and scroll design, with a central reserve area. ...click for details
