Help with a hallmark possibly an early Gorham?

Postby hja71 » Wed Nov 22, 2006 10:07 pm

I have a set of spoons with a hallmark I cannot seem to locate. I had other silver from the same estate and most were from the late 1700's to the early 1800's and from NH, MA or NY. I believe these to be from the same time period. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

typical NY pseudohallmarks of a wholesale manufacturer, mid to late 19th century.

Your manufacturing mark has been attributed to Benjamin Gurnee of New York City. His name is not found in city directories after 1861.
