Dorchester -Old by International

International had 2 "Dorchester" patterns. Both of these of different from Watson's Dorchester. This is their Dorchester -Old which they introduced in 1910.

Orange Spoon (5 1/2 inches)



Butter Spreader (5 1/8 inches)



Tea Fork (5 3/4 inches)

Orleans by Frank Whiting

Watson introduced their Orleans pattern in 1915, and in 1936 International introduced their Orleans pattern. Not to add to the confusion, earlier in 1892, Frank Whiting had introduced an Orleans pattern which personally I find much prettier than the other two.

Two Tine Butter Pick (5 1/4 inches)

Gumbo Soup Spoon




Tomato Server (7 1/4 inches)

Irene was introduced by International in 1902. I particularly like the detail of the design at the bottom of the stem. Even though we had entered the Edwardian Era by 1902, Sterling Flatware was still in its prime.
