Poppy by Gorham

Gorham introduced their multi motif Poppy pattern in 1902. I was surprised when I realized that in the years I have been writing this blog, I have not posted this pattern, since it was one of the first examples I added to my collection.

Josephine by Alvin

Alvin introduced their Josephine pattern in 1910. It is a fairly simple pattern with a double edge and simple motif on the tip of the terminal. There are several other patterns of the same name including Josephine by Frank Whiting and Josephine by Mount Vernon.
