A bit about this vintage manufacturer: The Gorham Company was founded by Jabez Gorham. Gorham opened his own business as a jeweler, but the business struggled until he and his craftsmen began making coin silver spoons. Because of the spoons’ popularity, Gorham’s business flourished and became a very popular American silver company from the late 1800's into the 20th century. Attracting some of the world’s best designers and silver artisans, the company’s reputation led them to create one-of-a-kind pieces beyond silverware, including wonderful barware items such as jiggers, cocktail shakers, decanter tags, Julep Cups, and more whimsical items such as a "Vermouth Spike" and enameled stoplight jigger. Still in business today, Gorham is known for making unparalleled, beautifully crafted pieces.
Condition: The tags are in very good vintage condition. The box is in "fair" condition and shows age and wear to the exterior lid (see last two photos for the condition of the box). The tags are a vibrant silver tone. Any yellow "hue" you see is purely from the camera's flash. There's mild tarnish to some of the tags (they buyer can polish away, if the choose to). In short, the tags are in very good vintage condition and the box is in "fair" condition and shows signs of age/wear to the top exterior. Cheers.
