<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 2233523, member: 136&quot;]I used to know a fair amount about sterling silver, but I&#039;m afraid I&#039;ve stored some of that knowledge so far back in the recesses of my brain that it may be impossible to ever retrieve it!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently unearthed a whole bin of sterling &quot;smalls&quot; that I imagine I had once planned to sell. Years back, I used to sell quite a bit of silver, but I stopped selling it some time ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do recognize everything that I recently &quot;found&quot;, but I don&#039;t recall much about most of it! (Sterling I&#039;ve collected <i>for myself</i> is all labelled and stored in a different place...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, while I&#039;m far from a &quot;newbie&quot;, here are a few &quot;newbie&quot; type questions. I&#039;ve looked around online &amp; not found the info I expected to find.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1) .JWR. sterling</b></p><p>Who is/was JWR? I&#039;ve see references to the 1940&#039;s and to the &quot;ivy&quot; pattern (sometimes also called the &quot;grape&quot; pattern) - but info was on sales sites with no attributions or real background. My little piece is a 4&quot; dish:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255538[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255539[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]255540[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>2) &quot;G&quot; mark on small (3&quot;) sterling Revere-style bowl:</b></p><p>To me, this mark resembles a Gorham &quot;G&quot;, but I don&#039;t recall seeing just a single &quot;G&quot; as a Gorham mark. Is it perhaps a Goldman mark? Something else?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255541[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255544[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3) &quot;AS Co&quot; sterling 4 1/2&quot; Pedestal Bowl</b></p><p>Does anyone have any info about &quot;AS Co&quot;? I imagine it&#039;s another of the many mid-century firms, but I haven&#039;t found much of anything about them, other than sellers offering pieces with their mark.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]255550[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]255551[/ATTACH] </p><p>(Despite the &quot;cement filled&quot; marking, this piece is hollow...)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Thank you so much for any input!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
