The Gorham 250 mark appears on sterling silver items produced by the Gorham Manufacturing Company, one of America’s most prestigious silversmiths. The number 250 is a pattern or model number used to identify a specific design or form, typically found on hollowware or serving pieces. This mark helps distinguish the item within Gorham’s extensive catalog and aids collectors and appraisers in tracing its production era and style. As with all Gorham silver, pieces marked 250 reflect the brand’s high standard of quality and craftsmanship.
