I can't seem to sort thru all the various Gorham derivatives. I know this is Durgin, but can't find the pattern. I have two strawberry forks in this pattern. Then there's the box. Pretty fabulous, I think, but I don't have a clue about the marks. It's a small dresser/vanity type box. Okay, one more thing and I'll leave you alone for the day. What type of serving spoon is the last pic? It's a Theodore Starr, but I don't know what it's meant to serve. Thanks again! Jenny

Have you tried Replacement Service? They have a great gallery now.
The spoon looks like a grapefruit or some type of fruit spoon to me.

Thanks! I have checked replacements, but they don't have any Theodore Starr photos. They have only one listing and there's no photo. The box is the one I'd really like to id, because I think it's really, really old. Thanks again! Jenny

I can't really tell what the marks on the box are?? They aren't very clear. It looks really old. Is it sterling? What is the inside like.

Yeah, I think it's really old, too. The marks are a "T" (I think) in the center with something under it - it's worn - and two ladies' heads on either side. I think they're identical, though. They don't match anything I've seen. They both are looking straight on, as opposed to one side, and the hair is up on top of her head. I just haven't seen a mark like that. Oh yeah - the inside looks pretty much like the outside except that the top almost looks gold-washed. I think it may just be discolored - or it may have been goldwashed and it's just worn off on the inside of the box except for the top. Thanks for trying to help me with this mystery! Jenny
