Greetings all: I am new here and am looking forward to participating. My interest is modern style American silver hollowware and flatware from 1945 to around 1970. I am currently very interested in knowing more about a flatware pattern that Tiffany introduced in 1972 named after its designer, Ward Bennett. Although it is in the 1972-73 Tiffany catalogue I have never seen any of this flatware in the secondary market. The dealers I have chatted with about this have never even heard of this pattern. Does anyone know anything about this pattern? I wonder how long it was in production and how much may have been produced? I am eager to acquire a set of this flatware, -Alan

According to Charles Carpenter, although this pattern, "Ward Bennett," appeared in the 1972-1973 catalogue, it was never produced (Tiffany Silver, 1978, p. 113/1997, p. 95).
