Mixed American Silverplate Flatware Assortment c.1900–1950s

This is a large assorted collection of American flatware spanning from the early 20th century to mid-century (circa 1900s–1950s). It includes various types of silverplate dining utensils—such as teaspoons, soup spoons, dessert spoons, dinner and salad forks, butter knives, serving pieces, and novelty or souvenir items—some featuring highly ornate Victorian or Art Deco-era detailing. These pieces represent domestic tableware traditions from the first half of the 20th century and reflect evolving styles from turn-of-the-century opulence to postwar functionalism. Many patterns feature floral, scroll, and beaded designs typical of that time. The collection may include identifiable hallmarked examples from brands such as Gorham, 1847 Rogers Bros., Reed & Barton, Wallace, Community (Oneida), and International Silver Co. These names were prominent producers of both silverplate and sterling flatware throughout American history. While this set primarily contains silverplate pieces, some items may bear further detailed hallmarks indicating origin and composition. The group is unsorted by pattern or maker and offers a historical cross-section of American table service heritage.
