One of Frank Smith's better designs, and one of Yours Truly's favorite patterns...

Height 8 3/4 inches, loaded square base, no monogram, Gorham trademark and date symbol for 1908. In need of a good polishing which you, dear reader, may provide but otherwise in excellent condition.

Though weighted, this seems to be of a heavier than average gauge, and I suspect that there may be a dollar or two to be made here for someone who wants to send this along to the Great Melting Pot in the Sky.

length 7 1/4 inches, weight a beefy 1.96 Troy ounces, marked and monogrammed as shown in enlargements.

Those who have had the good fortune to make the pilgrimage to Gorham's archives at Brown University will know that the company sent representatives to collect fabric samples from around the globe. These influences are used to great effect in this tour de force of chasing and piercing skills.

One caveat about condition: somebody appears to have begun removing the gold wash from the re...

length 8 1/2 inches, weight 2.55 Troy ounces, monogrammed as shown, fine condition.

Other pages on this internet show a scrawny 5 1/2 inch item which they're trying to pawn off as the nut spoon. We beg to differ.

The perfect gift for your hard-to-please bibliophile friend.

Both figures appear to be hand chased-- note the detail in Blue's hat and knickers.
