[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 411725, member: 136"]Well, shoot... I had sterling silver BABY flatware [U]AND[/U] "YOUTH" flatware - all in the same pattern. I can attest to the fact that they WERE used! I have told this story before, but I'll repeat it here... My childhood silver (1950's for BABY & early 1960's for YOUTH) was made in the same, particular pattern. When I was a teen, in boarding school (late 1960's) I bought myself a then-popular "spoon bracelet" (all the rage at the time) just because I liked the pattern. When I picked a silver pattern before my wedding (late 1970's) I inadvertently picked the [B]exact same pattern [/B]as my BABY, YOUTH, and SPOON BRACELET silver. Really & truly, I didn't know that they were all the same pattern! In fact, I didn't even find out until my Mom gave me my childhood silver when my daughter was born in the early 1980's! Subliminal? Who knows?[/QUOTE]
