BEAUTIFUL GORHAM SALT CELLAR. COMES WITH 2 SIZES OF SPOONS, UNDERPLATE AND BOWL. SPOONS AND UNDERPLATE DO NOT INDICATE A MANUFACTUER SO IT IS UNKNOWN. BUT THEY ARE STAMPED 950 STERLING (YES, 950). BOWL IS DEFINITELY A GORHAM BOWL. THESE WERE MY GRANDMOTHERS AND HAVE BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR YEARS. TARNISH ON INSIDE OF BOWL AND ON PLATE–COULD NOT CLEAN OFF–SO WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. PLATE IS EXTREMELY THIN AND MAY HAVE A LITTLE WAVE TO IT… HARD TO SEE–ALSO THE BLACK DOT IN BOWL I COULD NOT REMOVE WITH NORMAL POLISHING–PERHAPS A PROFESSIONAL POLISHER COULD REMOVE IT? BOWL IS 12 GRAMS 1.5″ DIAMETER 7/8″ T. PLATE 7 GRAMS 2 DIAMETER. SPOONS 5 GRAMS 2.5″ & 1 7/8″. WEIGHTS & MEASURES APPROXIMATE. THIS IS A TRUE ANTIQUE PIECE! RESEACH TELLS ME THE A4070 STARTED IN 1903 AND THE PATTERN IS COVINGTON. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN IN 1898 SO THIS VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN MY GREAT GRANDMOTHERS-OH THE STORIES IT COULD TELL.
