Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

It's a Gorham piece. See: http://www.925-1000.com/Gorham_Date_Code.html

In future posts you will find that you are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as very few people will click on links.

Trev.

Years? or Age? Re: Need help Identifying this mark...

Thanks so much for your reply!
I tried using the embed links or img and found it did not work for me....
I also looked and read extensively but was not certain I am interpreting the year correctly?
Is this piece 20th century?
And what is the purpose of the piece? (for serving? - serving what?)

(admin edit - see Posting Requirements )

(I received this from my grandmother's estate who was from Cincinnati Oh. Her father in law was very prominent as the editor and publisher of the Cincinnati Enquirer around the turn of the century)
THANKS A MILLION for your keen eye and insight!
Chip

Hi, please show all marks stamped on this piece, not just the maker's mark - and it's a bread tray...
