Welcome to the forum.

Newport Sterling is a trademark of Gorham Mfg.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have anymore information? I tried searching for Newport under Gorham, but did not find anything. Any possibles resources I can go to? Thanks for all your help.

Hello.

Dorothy Rainwater's book "Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers" shows Newport Sterling as a Gorham trademark.

Thanks Pat. Does anybody know a way I can date things?

If you have a piece of flatware that is marked Newport Sterling, it should be possible to at least identify when the pattern was first produced.

There was also a much later Newport Sterling jewelry manufacturer in North Kingston, Rhode Island. They used the words Newport Sterling and the International Code of Signals flags for N S as their trademark.
