As I’ve researched flatware patterns over the years, I’ve compiled information which I wanted easy access to…thus this post. I hope it helps you as it has helped (and will continue to help) me. I’ll be updating it periodically.
Following are some 19th Century flatware patterns shown in alphabetical order by pattern name. Below each grouping is additional information regarding the patterns shown.

Update: I was recently contacted by someone who had a spoon in a pattern similar to th Lyonnaise pattern but slightly different. This pattern was made by various manufacturers and his spoon was by Wm. Rogers & Son. Noel Turner’s book showed the variation under Wm. Rogers Mfg. This is from Turner’s book…first pattern on the left. Second image is of variations of this pattern, also in Turner’s book.

Hello,I am looking for any information on a pattern called, hall Elton # 3 ,this pattern resembles Tuscan,this same pattern was done by j. o. Mead .It is silverplate over german silver,please help,Raymond
Hello, the only reference that I could find in any of my reference books to Hall Elton Three is in “Silver Plated Flatware Patterns” by Davis and Deibel and they only show an illustration of the pattern with no additional info about it. At this time, I don’t have a patent for this particular design. I haven’t done much research for patents from the 1850s or 1860s yet. The earliest similar design that I have seen was Gibney’s from 1847 but there are others. I was contemplating putting together a post on some of these earlier Tuscan type designs but wanted to do a little more research in the patent office…which is time consuming.
I’ve seen a recent listing on eBay that mentions “Hall Elton 3″…however, the pattern shown in the listing is not exactly the same as the one in the Davis and Deibel book.
Hello,Is there any way you would consider posting the one image of Hall & elton #3,I would be interested in seeing an actual image to compare,in the meantime I will be trying to get a second hand copy of the book.Thanks again for all your help,it seems both j.o. Mead and Elton used this pattern who was first? since the back is a dead ringer for Tuscan I think it would have to date after 1846.,Tuscan’s orignal patent. best wishes ,Raymond
Hi, I’ve just put up this post with the image of the Hall Elton Three design that’s listed in Davis and Deibel’s “Silver Plated Flatware Patterns”. The post is here: https://queenofsienna.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/variation-on-a-theme/ Look for the 2nd Edition of that Davis and Deibel book…it has 709 pages and is an amazing resource. Hope this helps.
Hello,THANK!!YOU SO SO much for the posting,this is exactly what I was looking for this is the same design that is marked J.O. Mead &co. and also used by Hall & Elton.Now I need to research who came out with it first or was it supplied by another party.From what I understand Tuscan was patent 7-10-1846 ,This design uses the back of Tuscan and the front but modified I now have my work cut out for me.Thanks again so much for your help and comments,I will keep you posted with the results,hane a great weekend,Raymond
I have a pattern done by wm rogers and so i.s. and I cant Identify it name, ive search for and while now and cant figure it out if I send a picture to u would u be able to tell me more about it please and thank you Stephanie
All I can do is try!
Hey Stephanie
I realize this is an old post, butI have the same Rodgers 15 or 1.5

Hi,
I always enjoy your posts. I have been collecting a few small lots of Coral by Sheffield Plate Co. Do you have any history on this pattern and the company? It is a rather strange pattern. It seems to be rather cheaply stamped on a plain piece of metal. However, the stamp is rather beautiful. Some pieces have very faint pattern.
Hello, Tom. Hope all is well!
With regard to a strike at the Derby Silver Co., an 1887 publication listed one of the marks used by Derby as Sheffield Plate Co. (see my Edwin Brittin’s Squirrel post). However, in Davis & Diebel’s book the “Coral” pattern is shown as “Sterling Silver Plate Three”. Now in Eileen Woodhead’s book, she attributes the “Sterling Silver Plate” mark to Holmes, Booth & Haydens who apparently also had the backstamp “Sheffield Plated Co.” (Plated…ed). I’ve seen the “Coral” pattern marked with the “Sterling Sil. Plt. Co.” mark as well as “Sheffield Plate Co.” There is a pickle fork in this pattern on Ebay now with the Sheffield Plate mark. I’m not familiar with a patent for this pattern.
I also have a pattern I cannot identify. It is an 1834 J Russell & Co. It has a fan tail with a picture of a swan. Lovely but no one seems to know the name. How can I send you a pix?
Hi, you can send a photo to queenofsienna@gmail.com. Thanks.
I have a pattern from Dirby Silver Co. That I can’t seem to locate the name of. It resembles the lily of the Valley but has the butterfly. And also has the bow tie with straight lines down the handle. Wondering if you have run across this pattern?
Hi, I believe the Derby Silver Co. pattern you describe is called “Bouquet”. I need to update my listings!
Can you help identify this item? It is marked *ROGERS&SON.A1 – a scalloped serving spoon, floral stamped or embossed handle – the pattern is lilies and other flowers and leaves and goes from the tip of the handle to just under the spoon, just on the front. I can’t find an image match anywhere. Thank you for your time.
Hi! Could you please send a photo of your spoon to queenofsienna@gmail.com ? That would help tremendously. Thanks!
Just noticed, I don’t see Gem, by Reed and Barton (1871). Perhaps I have missed it. Thanks for all of the great information you have given me.
Hi, Tom! You’re right, Gem isn’t in this listing. I think my intent was to show aesthetic type patterns as there are so many! I didn’t include what I consider the early classic patterns like Olive, Threaded, Gothic, Cottage, Roman, Persian, Gem, etc. But I didn’t say that, I see. You’ve got good eyes! Hope all is well.
Thank you! Also, I noticed you said you were writing about “Some” 19th century patterns.
Hi,
I’m going to send a picture of this spoon also but it is a scalloped sugar spoon I believe, however, on the handle is stamped “Vassar Female College” and I’m not able to find any information online. I would appreciate any assistance so far as determining a value. Thank you.
I have found a spoon handle at an old cabin in Texas. The cabin was built in the 1850’s and lived in till the 1940’s. It has a BELMONT mark. It is hard to tell the pattern on the front but it appears to be a corn stalk with large bent leaves and a bent over tassel? at the top.
I can find nothing on it and am trying to date it. I have pics if I could send them to you. Any help would be appreciated. IThanks
Could you please send photos to me at queenofsienna@gmail.com? Thanks.
Hi! Was searching for information on a spoon I have, in the “Calla” pattern marked Williams Bros. Mfg. Co. and found your fabulous research. So fun to read about the Williams Bros. company in your blog post. Thank you!
Here’s one that wasn’t on that list. I do not know the name of the pattern. 1884 J Russell
________________________________
I need to update that list as there are more to be added. Perhaps you could send me a photo of your J Russell? My email is queenofsienna@gmail.com
Thank you. This information is very helpful. You’re doing a great thing!
I like your site, it has good articles, Have a nice day!
Thank you so kindly for this reference. I have a single serving spoon in ‘Acme’ by Holmes Booth Haydens which has given me much trouble to identify because the mark on the back reads: “1877 R.S. & Co. XIII 5”. I’m sure you can understand my perplexity at not being able to locate it in any Rogers Smith & Co. pattern guide. Fortunately by some internet magic (querying 1877 R.S. & Co. XIII silver pattern) I found your image and was therefore saved from endless searches. Now if only I could find a companion serving piece such as a meat fork or slotted spoon… Well, the search continues, but at least now I have a map! Thank you again!
I’m glad my post was helpful to you. Acme is a tough pattern to find. I believe it was also made with Aurora and Anchor Rogers backstamps. If you search on eBay for “Acme” under Antiques, Silver, Silverplate, flatware both in title and description you’ll find a few pieces but right now I don’t see a serving fork or slotted spoon. Problem is quite often the listing doesn’t provide a pattern name. And since this pattern is on the rare side, that is even more likely. But it is always good to have something to hunt for. Best of luck!
Thank you — this helped me identify the maker of an unmarked twisted handle master butter knife — it is very similar to the Sheffield Plate Coral pattern. I do have a different pattern from that era (1890s, I believe) that I cannot find anywhere. It’s a silverplate piece marked “A.F. Towle & Sons”. It is a very “busy” pattern with two small bees at the tip of the handle, along with stars, half moons, and what look like gears. I can send photos of the oyster ladle if you like.
If you’d like, you can send photos of the oyster ladle to me at queenofsienna@gmail.com. Thanks!
Hello, I was wondering if you might have any more information on the company of Roger and Brittin, I have a set of 6 of the Japanese: Numerous, 1880, Pat. #11966 to Rogers & Brittin, Gill & Brittin design spoons and was wondering whether they are Sterling or plated. They have the number 5 stamped on them which might be a sign they are sterling, but also they are so tarnished I can’t tell whether it is tarnish that is tough to clean or if the silver plate has worn off. Any help you might be able to give me would be very appreciated!
I believe Rogers & Brittin only manufactured nickel silver and plated ware. You can read more about them here:
It is not easy to find Rogers & Brittin flatware these days, especially this beautiful but elusive Japanese pattern.
Thank you so much for your help! I hope I can keep scrubbing and I can get whatever it is off, and that the silver hasn’t rubbed off. If you have any advice on how to clean them, and if you’d like photos, I’ll be happy to send them! I have tried all different methods of polish from tinfoil and baking soda to Wrightmans silver polish. They seem to be working, after about four sessions of rigorous cleaning and they still aren’t close to all being shiny again!!
I’d love to see photos. Thank you. You can send them to queenofsienna@gmail.com . Sometimes a good wash with dish detergent and warm water is the best way to start as there could be many years of grime on the surface making it harder for other treatments to get through and work.
Hello! I have found another silverplate pattern that I cannot identify. It’s a casserole/berry spoon made by Rogers & Bro, so I thought I might find it in my Hagan guide, but no luck. Other online resources have proven to be no help as well. If I send some photos, would you be able to take a look? Thanks so much!
I’d be happy to take a look. Please send photos to queenofsienna@gmail.com
Thanks for helping me with additional information on my crown Silver plate calla lily cake server. The motif in the middle of the business end of the cake server is a clipper ship.
I found a long spoon on the back was,W. B. 1900. HAS A TWRISTED MIDDLE, IS THIS SPOON WORTH ANYTHING,JUST WONDERING, HAVE PICTURES IF YOU LIKE TO SEE THEM,THANK YOU TOM.
Hello again.
I just wanted to let you know that I recently came across a 12″ Wellington (1888) fish serving knife with a back stamp of “ROGERS SMITH & CO A1”. I had a heck of a time finding this pattern, until I checked this page out — should have come here first…
Thanks!
I noticed there is no date on the Bristol Two or Three. Do you know they’re manufacturing dates?
I have a teaspoon in that pattern that is Gold Plated and stamped with Bristol Plate Co.
Anything you might know about it would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Lois M.
Lois, good question. Bristol Plate was a backstamp used by Pairpoint. Pairpoint was formed in 1880 and sold their silver flatware operation to Niagara Silver Co. around 1900. These patterns were made before that sale and I would date them to the early 1890s. I haven’t been able to locate them in a catalog or advertisement though. Sorry I can’t be more specific. If I do find some specific info, I’ll get back to you.
Thank You! I appreciate your help! 🤓
You have helped me with 19th century pattern identification in the past and I have another one. It is marked “Rogers Smith & Co” and I can find many of their patterns, but I have one that I cannot ID. Could I send a photo via email? I assume it is 19th century because of the maker, but it doesn’t have the typical look of flatware from that time period. Thank you — David.
Yes, you can send photos to queenofsienna@gmail.com
Hi. My name is Julie. I have a Wm Rogers flatware set that has a design on it not matching any of the designs you posted. I m at a loss. Please let me know if you can help.
Perhaps it does not date back to the 1800s (19th Century). If you could send a photo of both the pattern and Wm. Rogers mark to queenofsienna@gmail.com maybe I can help.
