REPRODUCTIONS
IN SILVER.

Many rare old pieces OF early
English silver live again in the
Gorham stores.
Every piece, in its renewed ex-
istence, is just exactly as it was
when it first delighted the eyes
OF London's fashion one and two
centuries ago.
The cunning hands of Gorham
artisans have given these fine old
pieces their new birth. The org
inals are treasured in museums
and in private collections. The
Gorham workshops have faith
fully reproduced them in every
detail.
For many years Gorham's has
been adding some rare pieces to
its list of reproductions. Every
piece reproduced has a history
and romance of its own.
For example, take the fine old
English tankard. The original
is in the private collection OF
one of Americas greatest hnan-
ciers. Queen Mary, King Will
Jams Queen, presented it to
Simon Jansen. The hall mark
reads London l692'-showing
its age to be just 22l years.
The "Ashby Punchbowl' has
history, too. 1t was made by
: John Chapman, in London, in
1876, as the hall mark shows.
The hall mark, by the way, is
} required under law enacted in
England in 1889. The St. Al
n bans Corporation owns the pre-
cious original.
There are three or tour old
wine coolers, each with history
n that suggests many merry bouts
/ in old England'S upper circles.
