Title: Gregorian Copper (??)
Post by: antiquerose123 on June 24, 2008, 02:25:22 AM

Hi I have this.  It is *signed* on the bottom with Gregorian Copper 405.  It is like a hammered bowl, with candle holders on each end?  i have no idea whether older, or new?

Any ideas as to date, or value of it, or any info at all....like where made?  TIA

There's one here: http://www.oldcopper.org/Marks%20G.htm listed in New Mexico in the 1980's - mark isn't the same but there are similarities.

Was looking at some of my past stuff and found this item on Ebay:

 Another item too (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Vintage-Gregorian-Hammered-Metal-Copper-Tea-Sugar-Bowl-_W0QQitemZ260477151152QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090915?IMSfp=TL090915136001r1107)

 And more pages here - WORTHPOINT  (http://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?query=Gregorian+copper+hammered+copper)

I thought copper had some value to it.  You hear about thing (like in USA) people stealing copper stuff out of high communications poles FOR THE $$ OF IT.....and IF hand hammered (???)
