Oneida Community quality silverware, catalog no. 25 : showing the newest design in "triple-plus" plated ware, the "Avalon" and a few pieces of the plainer styles.
A 1903 trade catalogue issued by Oneida, Ltd. of Oneida, New York, showing triple-plated silverware for retail buyers and dealers, chiefly the Avalon pattern with plainer styles. The pictures are engraved line drawings of spoons, forks, a knife and a butter knife set against plain backgrounds, with ornate handles of scrolls and fleurs beside simple fiddle-back shapes. A designer might take their clean tonal shading and the handle ornament as a model for decorative flourishes and product layout.
