Gorham Silver - An American Classic

Since 1831, when it was founded, the Gorham Company of Providence, Rhode Island, has grown from a small shop making coin silver spoons to the largest maker of sterling silverwares in the world by the beginning of the twentieth century. In addition to Gorham's commercial silverwares, the company made a line of innovative art wares. The company also made thimbles, combs, jewelry, and other small items. In 1842, a tariff which effectively blocked the importation of silverware from outside the United States was passed, this aided the American silver industry. In 1852 Gorham toured many of Europe's silver workshops and manufacturers, speaking with individual specialists, including master craftsmen and toolmakers.

In 1890 the company relocated to a factory on Adelaide Avenue in Providence. John Gorham (1820-1898), president of the company from 1848 until 1878, (20) made trips to Europe in 1852 and 1860 to buy steam-powered equipment and to hire craftsmen; he also bought finished items for resale. The company was purchased by Textron in 1967, a move that some critics claim decreased quality due to management's lack of understanding of Gorham's specialty, producing high-quality sterling silverware and holloware.

Gorham was owned by Brown-Forman Corporation from 1991 to 2005 until it was sold to Department 56 in the Lenox holdings transaction. Today the company is still known for its excellent quality and has a world class reputation.

John Gorham quickly recognized the advantages of machinery and as a result his company was the first to introduce factory methods to augment hand craftmanship in production of silverware. Gorham's familiar trademark was used as early as 1848 and from 1848 to 1865 the lion faced left rather than right. Gorham artisans sculptured the famous monument of George Washington in the Capitol's Rotunda, the statue of Theodore Roosevelt that overlooks the Museum of Natural History in New York, and the famous "Independent Man" which tops Rhode Island's state house. The White House has used Gorham silver services during many administrations. The Gorham company has been noted for the fine quality of its die work as well as superior design and fine finishing of all products. Gorham is an excellent maker and its fine products are always sought by collectors.

RC Helicopter Tips

Everyone wants to get the most enjoyment from using their RC helicopter and I'm sure that you're no exception. In this article, I'm going to give you a ton of radio controlled helicopter tips that will have you flying high in no time and having the most fun that you have with your RC helicopter.

Basic RC Helicopter Tips

If you're new to using your RC helicopter, the first and most important tip is to be safe and cautious when using your RC heli. I know it sounds obvious but it's probably the most important of all of the radio controlled helicopter tips I'll give you.

And always, always, always read the entire manual completely through! Don't just assume that because you followed the diagrams given that you have all of your parts in the right places doing the right things!

Intermediate RC Helicopter Tips

You'll find that proper configuration of your RC helicopter is very important, so always be sure that you check and see that all of your throttle linkages are fit and secure and that they're all in the idle position upon startup. If not, you may be getting the surprise of your life!

Speaking of configuration, a lot of beginning RC helicopter owners try to take away some of the worry by applying a lot of Lock-Tite to the screws of their RC helicopter. Truth is, less Lock-Tite is more, so only apply a small amount to the screws and not a ton like rookies do. You'll notice a big difference.

Advanced RC Helicopter Tips

Do you know how you can preserve the life of your mixing levers? The answer is simple but often overlooked: take care of your foam blade holders. They're not cheap as it is but by knowing that they also affect the care of your mixing levers, you can save yourself a lot of heartache in the long run.

Also speaking in terms of preservation, make a preflight checklist and stick to it. Be sure that you check everything that can be checked: safety issues, radio, transmitter, linkages, screws, weather, everything that can possibly be checked off as it applies to your flying experience. You'll be glad you did.

RC Helicopter Assembly Tips

One of the biggest rookie mistakes that I've seen is beginning RC helicopter flyers putting red Lock-Tite on just about all of their nuts and bolts on their RC helicopter. This is such a big no-no! The red Lock-Tite is only for studs and bearing mounts and if you use them on anything else, you're going to need a lot of heat to get them loose. Use the blue Lock-Tite for nuts and bolts and when you do use it, just use a small drop! That's all you need.

If you're still running your helicopter with training gear and you notice that it has more shaking than usual, there are several things that you need to check. Start with the length of your training gear, then go on and check your weight placement, size, RPMs and shape of the gear. Changing one of these should fix your problem immediately.

Environmental RC Helicopter Tips

Always make sure that you have a lot of room to operate. Never try to fly in places that have lines or buildings nearby. If something were to happen with your RC helicopter, you wouldn't want it to fall into someone or fall into others things on the way down that could damage it more.

Be mindful of the weather. Make sure that there isn't any weather warnings expected for the day that you plan to fly. Also be sure that you know what's going on with the wind patterns. You'd hate for any unexpected gusts to slam your RC helicopter into the ground, costing you an arm and a leg to fix.

Learning World History Through Oriental Porcelain Dolls


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Oriental dolls date back to 3000 BC, but it wasn't until the 1600's that Oriental porcelain dolls became the exquisite creations we are familiar with today. A widely available selection of oriental porcelain dolls will ensure the perfect doll for your home is out there. Japanese samurai, Japanese brides, Chinese girls with traditional dress, Chinese wedding dolls, Chinese princesses, and Geisha are just a few of the varieties available to the discerning collector. The long history of this region creates colorful, vibrant costumes, many different accessories, and a wonderful display.

Ancient Oriental porcelain dolls looked more like figurines than the porcelain dolls we are familiar with today. The ancient dolls were often one color, but sometimes had two colors for added decoration.
These ancient oriental porcelain dolls were only displayed for celebrations, and children were not allowed to touch them. After the celebration, particularly in the wealthier families, the porcelain dolls were then placed into storage until the celebration the next year. These ancient oriental porcelain dolls, while superb, are difficult to locate, and often expensive.

Having the right display for your Oriental porcelain doll is an important consideration. Hand-crafted Oriental porcelain dolls are best displayed in a glass case to protect your investment from the dust, dirt, and grime created by everyday life.

These dolls prefer a muted background and an indirect light at the base so they can be seen at their best. The costumes are widely varied, but all are bright, colorful, and energetic and are best viewed with little distraction from the background. The Oriental porcelain doll wants to be the center of attention, and deserves protection from the messiness of life in our world. Her dramatic colors, carefully arranged hair and makeup should not be ruffled with the cool breeze of summer you enjoy so much.

Oriental porcelain dolls have a long heritage of accurately representing the garb of the era they portray. The Oriental porcelain doll created to represent the ancient Japanese samurai will teach you, you're family, and your guests about the history of this ancient protector. The Chinese princess doll from the Qin dynasty will depict precisely the dress of royalty from this era in history. The Japanese geisha doll is a beautiful representation of the ancient performers' dress. Each Oriental porcelain doll is carefully crafted with an eye for the details. Accessorized carefully, every Oriental porcelain doll is exquisitely adorned. The Japanese geisha porcelain doll can be found accessorized with a fan, or an ancient musical instrument. These ancient performers also have traditional adornments in their carefully created hair dos. The head dress of the Chinese wedding dolls shows the traditions and customs of this fantastic event, and celebrates its history.

Oriental porcelain dolls can depict everything from a time in history to a life event, or even a literary character. The celebration of a wedding can be seen in the exquisite beauty of a set of bride and groom dolls. An Oriental porcelain doll representing a character from a popular novel or folklore is one more available variety. Some Oriental porcelain dolls also commemorate traditional occupations of both men and women. The geisha and samurai dolls are examples of this phenomenon.

The Oriental porcelain doll is an art form at its best. The historical accuracy of these dolls is unbeaten, and is a fabulous addition to any collection. A wide variety of Oriental porcelain dolls means the perfect doll for every home is just a click or two away. The colorful costumes, careful attention to details, and a careful display make the Oriental porcelain doll a must for every collection.
