Is this brush set Gorham?

It is a ornate vanity set but can't find anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

The comb came in the set but it has another marking on it.

Thanks,

One mark is doubled, the other at too mch of an angle. A typical Gorham mark is a 3 piece stamp and this looks singular.

Hi Fern - welcome to the forums. The mark in your first pic is the Simpson, Hall, Miller/International Silver knight's-head, their dresser-ware production codes were typically prefixed with a 'C'. The image of the marks on the comb is just too unclear - would be best to try and take a better picture, and since you believe it to be a different mark, please start a new post for it rather than adding to this one.
