Gorham Bronze Thurible

Appraisal complete
Description

 This is an item made by Gorham.  I contacted the Lenox/Gorham/KirkStieff Company in 2004.  According to their archives it was made about the time of WW1 (late teens or early twenties).  They were not able to tell from my photographs if there was any possible silver-plating or gilding over the bronze.  They were gracious enough to send me a xerox of an old production photograph of model #3316 (mine is labeled #3391).  Other than the finish showing signs of wear, nothing on this censer is damaged or broken, that I am aware of.
