The top mark, with the lion facing left, was used by the Gorham Manufacturing Co. of Providence, RI from 1848 to 1865. Most items from this period are also generally marked "COIN". This mark was found on an open salt with three figural ram's heads. The second mark is another early mark seen only on coin silver. The third and fourth marks are sterling marks with the lion facing right and the fifth mark is a more modern mark also on items of sterling. The bottom mark is one of their marks for silver plate. Today, Gorham is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenox, Inc.
