Lion by Frank Smith

This is an interesting pattern. From what I can discern (and this is only what I can put together from bits and pieces) Frank Smith introduced his Lion Pattern in 1905. The Frank Company's molds and dies were eventually sold to the The Webster Company which in due time became a division of Reed and Barton. However in addition to the mark of the Frank Smith Company, you may find pieces of this pattern with manufacturing stamps of  the Wallace or Towle companies on them. I do not know why.

All that said, it is easy to see that the pattern was named for its design of the lion's face on the top of the terminal with his paws grasping a shield that is suitable for monogramming.

Champlain by Amston

Amston introduced Champlain in 1915. The design is age less in both boldness and beauty. The lines of the terminal are similar to those of Gorham's Chantilly, except Champlain's have much more festive tip on the terminal and on the top of the stem.

Arcadia by Amston

Although  Amston did not introduce Arcadia until 1949, it has the lines of an older more traditional pattern. It was designed by Isadore A. Lipman. The terminal is elongated with a roped edge of leaves.
