This wonderful silverplate USN collector spoon from WW2 is marked: International Silver Co. On the front it has an anchor on the top of the spoon. The pattern on the front and the back is called the Kings Pattern and has USN on the upper back of the handle.
The International Silver Company, an amalgamation of fourteen independent silverware manufacturers, was formed in 1898. Immediately upon organization, the company bought the total capital stock of the following companies: Barbour Silver Company (Hartford), Holmes & Edwards Silver Company (Bridgeport), Manhattan Silver Plate, (Lyons, New York), Meriden Britannia Company (Meriden), Norwich Cutlery (Norwich), William Rogers Manufacturing Company (Hartford), Rogers Cutlery (Hartford), Rogers and Brothers (Waterbury), Rogers and Hamilton (Waterbury), Wilcox Silver Plate (Meriden), Watrous Manufacturing Company (Wallingford), Standard Silver Company, Ltd. (Toronto, Canada).
During the first six months of 1899, an additional four were purchased. Derby Silver Company (Derby), Simpson, Hall, Miller & Company (Wallingford), Simpson Nickel Company (Wallingford), Middletown Plate Company (Middletown).
In 1968, International Silver became part of Insilco, A group of private investors purchased World Tableware in 1983 and organized the American Silver Company.
Its operations centered at Meriden, Connecticut, would prove to be the major producer of silver products in the United States.
In very good condition it measures 1 1/4 inches by 6 inches. What a great piece of nostalgia to add to your Souvenir Spoon Collection.
