Circa: 1959
Manufacturer: Wm. A. Rogers/Oneida Ltd./Made in USA
This set of 4 silver plated place forks in the Lady Barbara pattern from 1959 are marked: Wm. A Rogers / Sectional / Oneida Ltd.
The Oneida Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes in upstate New York in 1848. In 1935 the company's name was changed to Oneida Ltd. During the 1960s, Oneida began to focus more on stainless steel flatware, instead of on the more expensive and prestigious silver-plated and sterling flatware that had previously been its hallmark. Technological breakthroughs in the late 1960s allowed Oneida to introduce the first ornate stainless flatware that had a decorative pierced pattern similar to sterling and silver plate. With these more attractive and formal patterns, stainless flatware gained a place in the silver departments of fine department stores. Because stainless was easier to care for and was far less expensive than sterling and silver plate, this new flatware sold briskly, sparking a recovery that led Oneida into a new era of growth. Oneida Ltd. is the world's largest stainless steel and silver-plated flatware maker, serving both the consumer and food service markets. Its operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Italy manufacture and market sterling, silver-plated, and stainless flatware, as well as china dinnerware and hollowware (coffee sets and trays).
In good condition, they do have scratches and plate loss which I have shown in my pictures and they measure 7 1/2 inches long.
An addition to any table setting or Wm. A. Rogers Silverware Collection.
