Gotham Silver

Q: I was given a vintage silver over copper meat tray and would like to know its age and origin. I can’t identify the attached stamp anywhere online.

A: Gotham Silver Co. used this mark that features buildings on its electroplated silver over copper. The company was founded in New York City about 1920. Little is known about the company. It filed for bankruptcy about 1948 and was out of business by about 1950.
