Saint George by Reed and Barton

Dating back to 1918, Reed and Barton's Saint George pattern is fairly simple, especially when compared to Wallace's much more ornate pattern of the same name. However the detail on the tip of the terminal and the very end of the stem make it an elegant pattern.

Preserve Spoon (7 3/4 inches)



Small Chipped Beef Fork (6 3/8 inches)

Tree of Life by Reed and Barton

Another "modern" pattern, Tree of Life by Reed Barton only dates back to1974 but the intricate design on the flat handle is intriguing. The motif  is one of a tree with branches, flowers, and birds.

Onslow Patterns

Onslow is a name used in several patterns by several companies that look somewhat similar. I am going to do my best to sort them out. 

Onslow by Tuttle dates back to 1931 (Luncheon Fork 7 3/8 inches)


Onslow by CJ Vander (Dinner Fork 8 inches)  Note the CJ Vander pattern has deeper lines, a thinner terminal and more pronounced fluting.



English Oslow by Wallace (Dinner Fork 8 1/2 inches) demonstrates even wider divide in the lines and more pronounced fluting.


I also found references to other patterns with strikingly similar designs including Onslow by Dominick and Haff, English Onslow (1969) by Worcester, and Onslow-Georgian Scroll (1935) by A.J. Stone. In all my research into sterling flatware I have yet to find a name used so many times by so many manufacturers for patterns that were so similar yet each unique.
