Colonial by Tiffany

Another pattern by Tiffany, Paulding Farnham designed Colonial for them in 1895. He is also known for his later patterns of  Marquise, Renaissance, and St. James  he also designed for Tiffany. As well as Richilieu, that he designed in 1892. The design of Colonial is fairly simple with a leaf motif at the end of the terminal and the terminal and stem being edged by a triple line which curls outward at the base of the stem.

Cameo by International

There is a newer pattern named "Cameo" by Reed and Barton that was introduced in 1959. However, I could not find out much about it. This is Cameo by international that was introduced in 1939. The design is a simple motif of flowers and leaves in the middle of the piece and some decoration at the bottom of the stem. It is not a fussy design, not is it heavy.

Earle by Frank Smith

An older pattern by Frank Smith, Earle was introduced in 1890. It is a busy pattern with an open shield on the terminal suitable for monograms. An acanthus leaf attached to the bottom of the shield. The stem is neatly wrapped in a design that resembles ribbon.

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.
