Gorham H408 Floral Month August Poppy 4 Sterling Silver Spoons. 5 3/4 123 grams total weight. There are normal surface marks, scratches, wear and tarnish commensurate with age. One spoon has a tiny bent spot on the rim of the bowl that doesn’t show in photographs. All 4 bowls have some minor rough edges. Otherwise, there are no major imperfections visible to my eye. Dark marks are reflections. Sterling is sent as-is for you to polish, if desired. These have been well-kept and probably don’t need any polishing. One spoon has a monogram on the front, and 1917 engraved on the back. Marks: Old Gorham lion, anchor, G marks, Sterling H408. Gorham Silver Company began releasing’flower of the month’ spoons around 1900.
