One of the reasons that the Delaware, Lackawanna, & Western Railroad was considered among the best in dining car operations was because of its attention to detail. One of these details was heavy duty silver-plated flatware.
Starting in 1912, the Lackawanna began ordering the Cromwell pattern from Gorham and International Silver. At the time, is was the most popular silver pattern, in use by 20 different railroads. In addition to the DL&W, it was used by the Santa Fe, Rutland and the B&O, among others.
The Cromwell pattern was the standard pattern of the Lackawanna from 1912 until the late-1920s. It makes an ideal complement to our Lackawanna pattern china.
World Silver has produced this reissue of the Cromwell silver-plated flatware, and it is a faithful reproduction of the originals. You will enjoy owning these pieces for your own collection or even for use! All the proceeds from the flatware will be used toward the restoration of Dining Cars 741 and 470.
This place setting includes a teaspoon, place fork, and place knife.
