1959 Flatware price list
(October)
This vibrant red, white and black 1959 price list echos the late 1950’s culture. Red waves in the Japanese style adorn several pages including the one for “Silver Surf”
All patterns prices are given, and with the exception of Princess, photos of the patterns are displayed.
In inches the size is 5 & 5/8th tall by 3 & 1/8th wide unopened and when opened 11 tall and 12 & 3/8th wide.
If you are wondering about the Williamsburg Shell pattern, it will not be introduced until 1970
The RT stood for Raleigh Tavern, an Inn on the grounds of Colonial Williamsburg
Personna introduced in 1959
Small black line on bottom right is lettering from the fold out inside section
Silver Surf introduced in 1956
Diamond Star introduced in 1958
The Salad Serving Fork from the Silver Surf pattern was certainly a departure
from the traditional shape used for many years by Stieff (second from right)
The inside fold out shows patterns and prices
I had to scan this in two parts, so there is a slight offset on the right third of the photo.
The writing on the bottom right corner says
Look at the difference between prices when compared to the Princess pattern.
Princess is often double, triple or in the case of the salt spoon four times the price of Stieff Rose.
