This is often the first letter of a family last name. If this is an item for sale, the seller is properly notifying a potential buyer of the existence of this custom monogram. Many buyers do not care but many buyers do no want to buy anything custom like this.<br />Silver Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842618852822028709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-66508145719664405172024-03-02T19:14:28.661-05:002024-03-02T19:14:28.661-05:00Do you know, by chance, what the difference is bet...Do you know, by chance, what the difference is between a Gorham silverware pattern that has "Monograms" after the name and the same pattern that does not?

Based on the specific marks, I would estimate that the flatware was manufactured sometime between 1924 and 1940.

All pieces are marked: 1895,with the three symbols for Gorham Sterling, with the exception of the 12 knives, marked: “stainless blade” and “silver plate” at the base of the knife blade, but no marks whatsoever on the handle. Does anyone know for certain if the chantilly pattern was made in silverplate as well as Sterling? I’m going to sell the set on eBay, but I need to know whether or not the handles on the knives could possibly be Sterling although they are not marked? I’ve looked up others on eBay but they are marked the same as the rest of my set. My testing acids have expired years ago so I’m unable to tell whether or not the handles are sterling… Thank you!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09784734532347044500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-42076036121474177572020-12-07T15:37:48.277-05:002020-12-07T15:37:48.277-05:00I have seen "x" on several pieces made o...I have seen "x" on several pieces made of silver plate but I do not know its purpose.Silver Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842618852822028709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464235049105190628.post-83373940899837950502020-12-07T08:48:39.533-05:002020-12-07T08:48:39.533-05:00I have several "Kings" Pattern Gorham fl...I have several "Kings" Pattern Gorham flatware pieces with the typical "GORHAM" plus the anchor symbol.
