Hello,

"Community" on a piece of silver almost always designates silverplate by Oneida Silversmiths. Piece bearing the "Community" mark are usually their highest quality plate, though not always. "Hensley"(are you sure it isn't Henley?) would be the name of the pattern. There are probably a number of different holloware pieces that would match your set, but not flatware. Your set is almost certainly post-1945 as well.

I hope this helps!
