Author	Topic: Kalo flatware -- pattern name?
wev Moderator Posts: 4121 Registered: Apr 99	posted 06-29-2006 02:46 PM I have been cleaning drawers and ran across some Kalo flatware I found a few years back at a rummage sale -- 12 soup/ice cream spoons and 3 serving pieces. Along with the normal marks, they are all stamped 6, which I assume is the pattern number. Has this been given a name? IP: Logged

chicagosilver Posts: 227 Registered: Aug 2005	posted 06-29-2006 03:15 PM Kalo flatware patterns are listed on p. 53 of Sharon Darling's landmark Chicago Metalsmiths book. This pattern is pictured and referred to as "Ball and Scroll (6)." For some reason complete Kalo flatware sets are very uncommon. We've been acquiring Kalo items for years and have come across just a handful. Even partial sets like this one are hard to come by. IP: Logged
