One Hundred and Sixteen-Piece Set of Gorham "Old English Tipt" Sterling Silver Flatware, the pattern introduced in 1870, Providence, Rhode Island, including twelve eight-piece place settings, with five additional place pieces and fourteen serving pieces, no monograms, 143.75 total t. oz. (weighable silver), presented in a lidded wooden case with one drawer, fitted and lined with indigo velvet, 5-1/2" x 15" x 11-1/2". Detailed list available on request.

Overall Condition: Good. A relatively recent set; seldom if ever used. All pieces show the beginnings of a patina in the form of surface scratches and scuffs, made more pronounced by the fact that they retain much of the factory bright finish. Solid pieces marked (on the underside) with the Gorham "lion-anchor-G" trademark and "Gorham Sterling". Stainless fittings marked "Gorham / Sterling Handle / Stainless Blade". Note revised total and weight: 115 pieces, 141.43 total t. oz.; the ice tongs originally counted with the set are actually Reed & Barton silverplate in a similar pattern.
