Piece by Whiting (?)

[chase33]

Hello

I recently ran across a piece that was stored in the back of my cabinet and had forgotten. When I went to do some research I ran into a little problem. It is marked on the bottom Whiting Co on one side and Sterling 2869 on the other side. I can't find where Whiting used this particular mark. All of the marks I have found are the lion holding a w. This is a pretty big piece measuring 14 long by 10 wide by 4 tall. Is it a Whiting Manufacturing piece? A Frank Whiting piece? Or some other Whiting Company? And any ideas about the age?







Thanks

Robert

Hello

Of course yours fruit bowl is an original product of «WHITING CO» hollowware.

Whiting Co were merged 1924 in Gorham; look: http://www.925-1000.com/Whiting_Date_Code.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

From that time on, Whiting date marks weren’t used any more — but it seems instead, also not Gorham’s.

Style of yours fruit bowl looks like Original Whiting — model-number: 2869 - before 1924; that’s signification: for sure after 1924; but maybe also after 1950, 1960 …

Kind regards silverport
