<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 35856, member: 44"]As Baker said, definitely no date codes on flatware. Here's something about letters on Gorham flatware. It talks about T, E, H, M & P. No mention of a 'D'. One of the responders says the 'P' may mean "place size, larger than luncheon size but smaller than dinner size." If that is correct, wonder if a 'D' might mean dinner size???</p><p><a href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10282" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10282" rel="nofollow">http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10282</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another site that talks about Gorham letters as representing special orders; however, not sure if the actual pieces were stamped with the letters or were the letters just in the "costing book with these 'special order entries'."
