Vintage Silverplate Flatware Set

This is a beautiful vintage estate lot of silverplated flatware in the classic floral "First Love" pattern. Please note that this is a "mixed maker" set, which is very common for estate collections of this age. The front floral pattern matches seamlessly, but the collection is comprised of pieces from two different makers: International Silver (stamped 1847 Rogers Bros IS) and Oneida (stamped Wm. A. Rogers A1 Plus Oneida Ltd).
