The one with buds is more like a rose, agreed.

 

Thank you for your replies and thoughts everybody. This is proving to be a tough one.

 

Tupperware Rose? https://www.replacements.com/silver...ware-rose-silverplate-1955-teaspoon/p/2610031

 

Oooo, I thought you were right, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a design on the back of the spoons:

I don't carry this pattern in my silverware inventory so I can't check on that @Born2it but thank you! OTH, I recently had something pointed out to me by a customer re another wellknown American s.p. pattern, first issued in 1937.

The pattern name is stamped on the back and I thought it always was, First Love. The customer informed me that some pieces in her service (inherited from grandmother) did not have the pattern name inscribed on it and others did! I looked through several individual lots in my inventory and found this to be true, some had the name on the back, others not.

I don't know why this is but can only guess that it was being manufactured by different plants and in different years. The name-less ware is not necessarily older as some would like to think. Different plants used different backstamps even if the front design was identical. This is true of many other patterns as well.

 

I found something that looks really close to me.

 

Hate to say it but Schofield produced sterling, not silver plate. In addition, the Baltimore Rose pattern was first issued in 1905. You can't really use only the part of the piece you show there as a pattern comparison.

 

@Rob Langdon You are talking about Baltimore Rose, a Schofield sterling pattern, issued in 1905, am I right?
Baltimore Rose
Schofield was acquired by the Stieff company in 1967. Frank M. Schofield Co.
Stieff also mfd the Baltimore Rose, a very popular Stieff pattern but called it just Rose.

 

Thank you for the information! I had no idea this happened. I’m almost completely ignorant on this subject, so I’m grateful for the help!

 

Thank you for helping me learn!
I have so little knowledge on this subject I have no problem being corrected… and I can only agree the OP spoon isn’t solid silver. I was (and am) hoping that silverware people might have something like birdwatchers have - lists of things newbies like me mistake for other things.

 

It's a poppy.....lol
