<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 2849498, member: 111"]It is the same pattern, the Durgin plant closed in 1931, but the name, designs, and dies still belonged to Gorham - unless something's changed recently, Fairfax is still in production, one of the four remaining Gorham stock patterns for Lifetime Brands. Not unusual for flatware pieces in the same pattern to change in size or shape over the years - as said, the Durgin-marked butter spreaders will be older, and might appeal to some for that reason, but can't say that I've really seen much difference in price (the Shreve & Co. pouches might have some value too)...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
