Need Help Identifying Gorham Marks

[CarriageHouse]

Hello fellow Forum members,

I am seeking help in information regarding this piece and its markings. I'm not overly familiar with Gorham's 4 mark/stamp pieces as usually I have only noticed Gorham pieces having 3 marks. I am guessing this is Silver Plated but any assistance in determining the year or further info on the marks/stamps would be greatly appreciated.





I thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Best,

MJ
