CORONATION
This wonderful pattern is called Coronation and was made in 1936 by the Community Silver plate company which is now Oneida. This pattern was made to commemorate the crowning of Edward VIII of England. This event never happened because of Edward abdicating the throne to move to America and marry Wallis Simpson. Last week one of my antique guys had a set of this pattern. It made my day!!!
