Hello Everyone! Can anyone help me with this pattern? There are three boxed hallmarks which are unreadable, as well as "Sterling Patented 1925"
( or possibly 1926)". I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong category, and thank everyone for their help. David

Hi David,

Please post an image of the marks, even if unreadable, it will eliminate some makers or it may give someone a clue to the origin.

I apologize for leaving out the picture of the marks.

I'll take a stab at a Gorham trademark and the Princess Patricia pattern.

Thank you for the reply, Silverly. After your post, I compared the piece in-hand with close up pictures of the Gorham pattern, and unfortunately, they don't match up. My pieces have a plain top end, while the Gorham pattern has a simple pattern. I'm not giving up!

The middle of the handle looks an awful lot like the Princess Patricia pattern, but my reference doesn't show it as a multi motif pattern, so I don't have a better suggestion. Hopefully, some one else will be able to make the identification. Good luck with your research.

Hi - your pics are bit fuzzy, but I am with Silverly, those are Gorham marks and this is the Durgin/Gorham 'Princess Patricia' pattern, 1926 patent #D73149. Can't really make out the tops, but the pattern does not have particularly deep detailing at best, perhaps your pieces were subjected to some overly enthusiastic polishing or machine-buffing in their past...

Thanks for the help, everyone....Princess Patricia it is!
