Author	Topic: Gorham & Brown?
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 09-15-2002 11:31 AM I ran across this label on ebay; it is inside a leather pen or spectacle case. I assume this is Jabez Gorham or his son John, but I don't remember any mention of this partnership in references. Can anyone identify Mr. Brown or give us any other information? IP: Logged
June Martin Forum Master Posts: 1326 Registered: Apr 93	posted 09-15-2002 01:10 PM Hi, wev. Charles Carpenter indicates in his book on Gorham that Gorham, Co. & Brown was an outlet for Gorham silverwares plus other luxury items. It was founded in 1856 by John Gorham, Gorham Thurber and Henry T. Brown. Brown ran the store. IP: Logged
