Please help me identify the following marks on two identical silverplated bowls (candy dish size) with red glass inserts.

On the first line - Gorham is in cursive.

Second line - E - Cartouche with an Anchor on the inside - then the letter P follows.

Third line - YC778

Also, on each piece there is a silver sticker with a large G that encompasses the words "GORHAM SILVERPLATE" with the same cartouce symbol that has an anchor inside.

Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what you'd like to know. The EP ~ one of Gorham's silverplated lines - was known as Elmwood Plate, marked differently from other lines, perhaps to show a variety of good, better, best - if you know what I mean.

The third line YC778 may refer to the pattern number and if your two plates are identifical, do they each have the same pattern number?

As for the silver sticker, if that's the kind that comes off, I think that was a 50's thing, but someone more knowledgeable than I would have to rule on that.
