Hello. I'm new here, and I was just wondering if someone would be able to help me identify this spoon. I have researched it as far as I know how. I believe it was made by Gorham (?). There are some identifying marks on the back near the bowl of the spoon, and then on the back of the spoon handle are the letters "I W A C." The spoon is 5" long. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Smile

Hi there and thanks for joining us. Your spoon was indeed made by Gorham of Providence, Rhode Island and is electro plated ("EP"). The letters "IWAC" appear to be monogram engraving applied by or for the user and may stand for ".....I.....W...Athletic Club"?

Regards,

Uncle Vic
