    I recently acquired several pieces of this pattern. It's by 1847 Rogers Bros. IS. I have searched Replacements under every name I can think of: Corn, Bountiful, Harvest, Leaf, Pineapple, and so on. Any help out there? It looks to me like a corncob possibly with acanthus leaves.

    TIA.

    Well, I do agree with you on that and admire Bakersgma for having a brain capable of remembering pattern names (I have CRS real bad!). But Lynnie stated that she had spent some time on Replacements and I wanted to save her that pain in the future. I like the section of that web site where they tell you what pieces were used for. For instance, I would never know about a Marrow Spoon if I hadn't looked there. Yuck, marrow, I would never have guessed. And recently, I had a rare sterling silver Bird Fork in the old Gorham Chantilly pattern, I guess from when folks used to eat pigeons and other small birds (I can't even contemplate being hungry enough to eat city-living pigeons). The only bird we eat here is yard bird, LOL!

    Thank you both for your compliments. :) I have a very "visual" memory going for me, plus I've been doing this quite a while. ;) Got lucky on this one but do often have to go to silverflatwarefashions to confirm what my memory is saying or get dates. It is a tremendous resource!

    Re the marrow spoon. (LOL!) A number of years ago, my family and I lived in London for a month. My littlest one was still on baby food, so the first time I went to the "supermarket" (about as big as a shoe repair shop), I checked out that section. English babies were fed some things that I had never thought to feed ANY baby -- marrow being one example.

    MY baby loved it, but I couldn't get over the color of it...sort of greige, as I recall. My husband turned a most peculiar shade of green when he saw it. :meh:
