Now I have to admit I have never, ever thought along the lines of silverware as a Christmas gift. I guess maybe for an adult child or something? Or possibly a gift from parents or grandparents to a newly married couple?
But apparently some advertising genius back in the day did think along these lines, because look at this: A Christmas tree showcasing silver (or more likely, stainless) teaspoons!
The pattern names that I can see are Lasting Rose, Chateau, Shasta, Textura, Tempo, and Cantata.
For fun, and to learn more, I did a search for Lasting Rose stainless and found that it was indeed an Oneida product -- Oneidacraft Deluxe Stainless Flatware. Nearly an entire set sold on Etsy for $149. It is vintage from the 1960s. So if Lasting Rose is Oneida Stainless, the other patterns are too.
I could research this topic quite a bit more, but will just share this fun advertisement for today. Enjoy!
That is a way to draw attention to silverware
