Among Gorham's oldest full line patterns, New Tipt was introduced in 1871.
Decidedly distinct from a standard Tipt design, it incorporates period Greek and/or Egyptian Revival motifs such as palmettes, reeds, and beading, set on a broad, pointed end, handle with a tubular shank.
This example is a 5 5/8" long, .7 T. oz., early pastry or pickle fork.
This has an Old English letter "B" monogram on the handle backside, and is in flawless estate condition, free of wear or damage and having a bright finish.
Marks are "Sterling" and "Pat. 71" on the backside heel and Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem on the adjoining handle.
Please see Old Friends items 5034f for a sugar spoon in this pattern.
