Alvin introduced its Molly Stark pattern 1910. The same pattern was also introduced in 1916 in silver plate. As a fun fact, the lady Molly Starks was raised in New Hampshire. She married John Stark in 1758. Her name was probably first heard when her husband yelled his favorite battle cry of "There are your enemies, the Red Coats and the Tories. They are ours, or this night Molly Stark sleeps a widow!"
