I've done very well with the Gorham dating system, but the capital T inside a diamond has me stumped. I think the pattern is Etruscan. Thanks for help.

In the late 19th and early 20th century some Gorham flatware was made in as many as five different weights. T was for Trade, M for Medium, H for Heavy and M was for Massive. The regular weight was not stamped.

Hi,
The Gorham date coding symbols were used on holloware, don't believe they were ever used on flatware.
