<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RealFamilyMan, post: 244756, member: 4789&quot;]Say, can you good folks answer another question?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found two Gorham hair brushes, from different sellers, that seem to have the same pattern, also appear to be the same physical shape (a hair brush shape, not an oblong or oval clothes brush shape).&nbsp; But I cannot judge if the sizes are exactly the same, because they&#039;re two different auctions. And it&#039;s difficult to tell with one, but they both seem to have the same date marks too.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT one has the number 602, and the other has 602A...</p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea what the &quot;A&quot; denotes?&nbsp; I have seen (only) a couple of sets for sale online, where there are two brushes that shape. The listings stated one is a clothes brush, one is a hair brush.&nbsp; But it&#039;s difficult to know if the sellers genuinely know what they&#039;re talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>* Would they be from the same set?</p><p>* Or the same pattern but a later year with some minor modification to earn the &quot;A&quot;?</p><p>* Is one maybe a clothes brush, even though it&#039;s shaped like a hair brush? (Do you actually see that happen in these sets?)</p><p>* Something else?</p><p><br /></p><p>The two can be seen here:</p><p><br /></p><p>602: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/252943398163" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/252943398163" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/252943398163</a></p><p>602A: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/272686125928" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/272686125928" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/272686125928</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh - and has anyone ever had sterling silver engraving filled/hidden, and/or the piece restored?&nbsp; I know there are places online advertising they will do it. But it concerns me what the final result would be like.&nbsp; (If it really looks like new/invisible, or if the engraving is still visible, etc. Because it doesn&#039;t make sense to me the engraving would be completely gone - slightly dissimilar mixes of silver, etc.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
