<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9710375, member: 37"]... so looks like this dates to 1898-1903 due to the <i>A </i>prefix for the production number and the lack of <i>King</i> in the name. There is no Gorham date stamp. The marks are all on the underside of the silver, so not where they were obscured by the bowl. Not big enough for a bride's basket but for candies (not candles) as I suggested.... or bon bons as others suggest. Ran across the term bonbonnier. I thought this to be a person, a candy maker, but it appears to also be a box or dish.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know this needs a good polish. I will do so and post a photo when I get it done. Thank you to everyone who posted here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
