PAIR STERLING SILVER OPEN SALTS,marked for Gorham, 1852-65. Oval bowls, on a pedestal base, flanked by a pair of winged sphinx; faint chased armorial crest on one side, the other inscribed Aug. 1st, 1808 - 8 oz., 4 dwt.; 3 in. high. Estimate $400-600
In overall excellent condition. The faintly chased armorial crest actually appears to be an intwined monogram (too faint to make out). One bowl with two two tiny pock marks; each has warping along the raised border found at the ends of the bowls.
