<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 106940, member: 59"]TOG - I'm not sure I would go so far as to say "never" in answer to your first question. If a patent of the design is involved, any change in the design would logically require a different name but only if the first patent is still in force. I suppose that working in different materials might cause the manufacturer to give different names to distinguish between them, but not necessarily. For instance, Oneida made Grand Majesty in both sterling and stainless - they sure look like the same design to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>On question 2, I agree that even seconds of sterling production should be marked as such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
