Old flatware is neat. I have a set of Morning Star that was my grandma's...even have her box for it. It's such a neat, kind of art deco pattern....and we have a few pieces of Queen Bess....I like that a lot. But I have this wonderful sugar shell, and i haven't been able to identify the pattern yet. Elaborate, but tasteful. Very victorian. And I think it is victorian, or maybe edwardian.

I love it! We have about ten pieces from a great great grandma, with no markings, not even a company but it is sterling and very very old looking. Reminds me of some of the patterns around the Revolution. Very simple with sort of a crown on top, like the one Onyx has.

Going to look up Morning Star and Queen Bess.

I found two queen Bess,,one was like 1924 and one was later. And I love the Morning Star.

I will be looking at flatware all night, I just have a thing for it.
