Orleans by Michael J. Fina

Continuing with Orleans, this is the one introduced by Micheal C. Fina in 1934.  This pattern is fairly unique in that due to the nature of the heavy design, most of the pieces are hollow handle. And all the examples I could find were serving pieces, so this may be a "limited" pattern made up of only serving pieces. Tiffany has several such patterns.
