What is the "C " mark?

[deeadele]

Can anyone tell me what the "C" with the line thru it means. The hallmark I can not get a clear picture on but looks like Gorhams.

I should also stated that it clearly is marked sterling under the makers mark. If that helps anyone. I will keep searching!

Let me know if the picture is not clearer enough Thanks for your help

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

As there has been no response to your question, then perhaps a clearer image of the mark may help. A photo of the whole piece may also be of assistence.

I have added a full picture of the piece if it helps.

I thought that was probably a Gorham mark in your image. Here is a table that should answer your question: http://www.925-1000.com/Gorham_Date_Code.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think your spoon is in the multi motiff pattern Versaille.

Make that Versailles.

And motif.

I saw that table but wondered why the C on this spoon had a line thru the center? thank you for your help

As it states on the chart, Gorham used dating on hollowware, not flatware. The C is probably just the mark of some forgotten dealer.

TY that makes sense! You folks are wonderful!
