<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1014386, member: 111&quot;]The major American silver manufacturers no longer really exist - nearing or in bankruptcy, most sold off to conglomerates some time ago (and they hadn&#039;t produced &#039;hand made&#039; silver in many decades), Reed &amp; Barton was the last hold-out, sold in 2015 to Lenox, who offers a limited selection of R&amp;B sterling flatware.&nbsp; Lifetime Sterling owns Gorham, International, Kirk-Stieff, Towle, Tuttle, and Wallace, also offering a limited selection of sterling patterns.&nbsp; The only large hand crafted silver manufacturer left is Old Newbury Crafters, they struggle and have an extremely small staff - not saying that hand crafted silver isn&#039;t available here, still made in small shops, but sterling flatware and holloware is just not a mass market product anymore...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
