If you are not familiar with 'State House' silver, there is a reason why. It is actually not a company but a line of sterling from Oneida. The 3 patterns of the State House line were not distributed through retail stores. They were made for private distribution. The Stately pattern was introduced in 1948. Is one of the 3 'State House' patterns, along with Formality and Inaugural. Grosvenor N. Allen & Mary Parker Fleming designed the pattern for State House/Oneida. They also designed Damask Rose (1946), designs of Stanton Hall (1951), Ribbon Rose (1942), and Castle Rose. Hallmark Silver Co is founded in New York, NY. It is active in the early 1900s till around 1954. The company later merged with Hunt Silver Co in the year 1954 and renamed Hunt-Hallmark Co. Ice Cream Fork (5 5/8 inches)
Gorham introduced Spanish Tracery in 1970. A different feature of this pattern is the "Black Accent", meaning the design itself is on a black Background.
