Company 24673 v^ 'aaMF33« saidoo oaai WOTL3T ^Ui- HE name Gorham is an accepted | synonym for all that is beautiful in the art of the silversmith. It has been truly said, '' It is a matter for national pride that the stamp of an American house is acknowledged a sure guarantee of sterling purity." That cer- tainly means much, when all English silverware must have the government stamp, or hall-mark, to insure the same. In presenting this book of "Suggestions" the Gorham Company hope that it will be found helpful as a guide to selecting articles suitable for presents for all occasions. For convenient reference the various articles are enumerated and alphabetically arranged in a general list, and classified as follows : Articles for breakfast and tea tables Jewelry and articles for Articles for dinner and dessert tables personal adornment Articles for library and Leather goods writing tables Loving cups and prizes Articles for the work basket Mounted glassware Buffet furnishings Presents for children Candelabra and candlesticks Silver models for the cabinet (toys) Chafing dishes and furnishings Smokers' articles College and university shields Souvenir spoons Cutlery Toilet articles Flat silverware for table use Umbrellas and parasols The book is not a price list. It outlines simply a stock ever changing and growing in variety. The Gorham Company will be glad to supplement it by furnishing detailed information regarding any par- ticular article, accompanied by illustrations and prices of all the styles in which the goods are made. Special attention is given to engraving coats of arms, crests, inscriptions, monograms, ornamental lettering, and all other work of the engraver. In the Order and Repair Department particular care is given to the carrying out of customers' instruc- tions ; and articles of silver and jewelry can ofttimes be made as good as new.

Versailles The Gorham Company chests are made in a special department of their works, from seasoned mahogany, oak and other hard woods, and, like all their other productions, are of the highest standard attainable, and add value to the wares which they protect. They can be supplied in any combination of forks, spoons and matched cutlery, with fancy pieces if desired, in lots of three dozen and up- wards, which can be arranged in almost endless variety from the stock of the Gorham Company. Compact cases are most convenient for keeping knives, forks and spoons in good form. Chamois rolls are also convenient for " putting away " knives, forks and spoons. 35 { Loving Cups and Prizes The silversmith has no more encouraging field for artistic endeavor than in the supplying of loving cups and prizes incident to the remarkable growth of interest in athletic competitions and out-of-door sports. The wide popularity of golf in particular, and the multiplicity of competitive events and tourna- ments, has led to the making of an especially attractive assortment of cups and trophies care- fully designed to please the votaries of the royal game. The Gorham Company have, for some years past, contributed the best talent of their designers and craftsmen to the production of work of this class, until it has become an important branch of their manufacture, not only in the quantity and value of the work done, but in the highly artistic results achieved. But it is not alone for athletic prizes that this class of work is produced, as the occasions and anniversaries when gifts or testimonials of unique special pieces of silver are appropriate are 37 ! I of constant occurrence and cover almost every phase of human interest and sympathy. The loving cup, typical of that good fellowship which exists between the members of a group of kindred spirits, is supposed to have had its origin with King Henry the Fifth of England, who, while riding in the forest, called at the door of an inn for a cup of wine, which the awkward barmaid handed to him by the single handle, thus forcing the king to take it with both hands, thereby soiling his gloves. On his return home, deter- mined to guard against the recurrence of such a mishap, he ordered a mug made with two handles and sent it to the -inn with directions to reserve it for his use. What was his chagrin on the occasion of his next visit to see the same maid approaching, grasping in her hands the two handles of the cup, thus compelling the king to receive it in this awkward fashion. He then ordered another mug to be made for him with three handles, which proved a successful solution of the problem. While the love cup is a favorite form, the prizes and testimonials made by the Gorham Company are by no means confined to 39 that style, but include tankards, vases, pitchers, punch bowls, waiters and other objects, in many of which most novel results have been secured through the use of ivory and stag horn in combi- nation with the silver, and by the aid of vitrified enamels to produce oriental effects of color. Those interested are invited to inspect the display of these special articles, at all times to be seen at the show rooms of the Gorham Company, who also solicit the opportunity to furnish special designs when required. A large variety of patterns constantly in stock for immediate selection, and particular attention given to designing special cups and prizes for all occasions.

Thus, the use of sterling silver, with its wonderful quality of taking on various color tones under special treatment, and its ready adaptability to bizarre effects by amal- gamation with other metals m Wh i and in combination with enamels and semi-precious stones, has brought about the result of making the silver-worker the true jeweler of to-day. With those recurring seasons when fashion dictates changes in costume, and especially at the Easter and Christmas seasons, the cases of the Gorham Company will be daily replenished with the latest creations of the fancy of their in- dustrious workers in this interesting; field. 45 Illustrations of silver jewelry are not published, but intend- ing purchasers who cannot call to make personal selection can be confident of satisfactory results by mentioning article and limit of price and entrusting the selection to the Company ; or, if preferred, a selection will be sent on approval to parties making themselves known by reference. 46 Jewelry and Articles for Personal Adorn- ment — Continued Back combs These combs are made of tortoise shell richly ornamented.

The Gorham toys are correct models in every detail of the objects they are intended to repre- sent, and as cabinet pieces will increase in value with the lapse of time.

The material used in the manufacture of the whips for every class of driving, and the riding whips and crops, is the best that can be procured, and the goods are made under the direction of the Gorham Company by the most approved makers, and the same may be said of all other articles of equip- ment which are not included within the art of the silversmith. The silver mountings are all of their own manufacture. The Gorham Company manufacture ex- clusively a novelty in the way of a crop with a revolving spur rowel attached to rear of stag-horn handle, doing away with the neces- sity of wearing spur attached to boot, making it especially desirable for women riders. It is quite inexpensive, and is made in both men's and women's sizes. In the mounting of their whips, great care is taken by the Gorham Company to preserve the proper proportion of weight in the handle and not in any way to sacrifice the practicability of the article for service. The sterling silver mountings range from those of very plain but substantial design adding but little to the cost, to those of very ornate design, some being set with precious or semi-precious stones. For those desiring objects to be given as prizes for horsemanship, there will always be found a variety of articles suitable for events in the hunting field, amateur races, steeple chasing, polo, etc., and the competitions of cavalry troops and riding and driving clubs, which can be suitably en- !< -. graved or etched. Umbrellas, Canes and Parasols The fine silk used in the umbrellas and parasols sold by the Gorham Company is espe- cially made for the purpose. The frames are steel paragon, insuring dura- bility and lightness. The sticks are partridge wood, with handles of carved ivory, mother of pearl, tortoise shell and various fancy natural woods mounted in silver. In the production of the sterling silver mount- ings, the Gorham Company have used their unequaled resources in the making of an almost endless variety, from plain caps and bands which cost but a trifle more than inferior goods to charming examples of the art of the silver- smith and chaser, some being set with semi- precious stones or embellished with gold and enamel. They also have the handles of gun metal with bands of gold or silver. Considering the high quality of both the umbrellas and the mountings, with the reputation 70 of the Gorham Company as a guarantee of their excellence, these goods will be found reasonable in price. ftp In parasols, rare and exclusive novelties Pf 1 til will be shown each season. In canes the best specimens^^^^^ of natural woods, including Partridge French tortured oak Malacca Pamyr vine Borneo penang Sumatra bamboo Ceylon briar Baku Congo Snakewood Adrelette They are usually mounted in the plain but heavy and substantial manner desired by men and will be found to be most serviceable.
