Gale as well as the firms of William Gale & Son (1853-1859), and Gale, Dominick & Haff (1870-1872) among others, the firm eventually being purchased by Reed & Barton in 1928.

Chased floral decoration; inscribed with the name “Ellen Adee Skeel”. Has a good deal of tarnish but is otherwise in very fine condition. One minor dent below the area where the name is inscribed.  [ld][ph:L]
