Featured A few more pieces of flatware today

Just a couple pieces to put in the pile today. The sterling server is by gorham and it has a laser etched marking on the stainless steel. The spoon is by Stieff and thankfully it's very tarnished so no one noticed the sterling mark. By the way, I figured I'd show a few photos of all my flatware I have decided to keep and not resell. It adds up when you find a few items here and there

 

The Gorham server looks like the Newport Scroll pattern (1983 - 2009.)

Very impressive collection, Nate!

 

Thank you for finding the pattern Bakersgma and thank you for your compliment! The spoon is back to being beautiful now:

 

I LOVE the spoon......is that pattern Chrysanthemum MrNate??? AND GREAT polishing job!!!!

 

Kirk and Stieff is one of my favorite silver makers even when they were separate companies. I ALWAYS pick up their pieces.

Okay, Nate. You are now ready to entertain!!! So, when's the dinner party? (And may I bring a plus one?)

Really, tho - GREAT JOB!

 

I think this is the Rose pattern, but I could definitely be wrong

 

Maybe not rose pattern, I'm terrible with patterns and flowers

Since both Kirk and Stieff had patterns named "Rose" it's hard to distinguish between them, but my guess it that this is Stieff Rose. A lot of "references" do not specify which Rose pattern (either by maker or date) they have pictured, not to mention that some versions were "multi-motif."

 

Take a look at the 1892 Rose (Stieff) information on this page and the attached digital catalog. https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Patterns/KirkStieff2.html

 

Hi,
I had a set of Stieff's Baltimore Rose that looked the same as Stieff's Rose. I am confused as mine looked exactly like the Rose pattern. Mine had a paper with it saying it was Baltimore Rose. Now I wonder if it was a separate pattern. God I hate being old.

@Bakersgma, I wonder if they're the same Rose patterns, just made at different times????? MrNate's is on the left.....Catalog is on the right....I mean....they are SO CLOSE!!!!

 

That's why I suggested comparing them.

 

wow, impressive pile of silver there Mr. Nate, and all nicely polished too

 

Love it..
