    >marked W R Keystone<

    I believe "W.R. Keystone" is a silverplate line by Oneida Silver. It may have come to Oneida when it took over the Wm. A. Rogers.

    That's true, Susan, although it was in use for quite a while before the acquisition in 1929. A catalogue reprint in Davis and Deibel refers to the W R "keystone" mark as "Medium Grade Flat Ware."

    I must get Davis and Deibel, I must get Davis and Deibel, I must get Davis and Deibel.....

    Cheryl notes the "medium grade plate" also in the following query on 925-1000 - the last reply.

    First chance to get back here - Halloween was my Mom's 90th birthday, and had
    lots of family down. Too tired to go digging through references at the moment, but the cut below was already in my pics, it's from a 1906 wholesaler's catalog:
