<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 410800, member: 59&quot;]I have been unable to find (having checked a number of both hardcopy and online sources) a specific year in which Oneida started using the Oneida Silversmiths marking. But it was definitely post WWII and likely even later. In 1935, they changed their name to Oneida Ltd from Oneida Community. In 1946 when they started making sterling flatware, they used both Oneida Sterling and Heirloom Sterling as marks on that flatware. In 1965 they introduced their &quot;cube&quot; trademark (called a &quot;tessera&quot;), but it does appear that it was not used on all of the things they produced. One reference implied that the addition of &quot;Silversmiths&quot; appeared by 1980 but does not give a specific date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given all of that, and both the style of the compote and the way the Oneida Silversmiths mark appears to have been &quot;in the mold&quot; rather than applied after the piece was made, I would feel comfortable with circa 1980 (plus or minus a few years.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
