Artifact Overview

Oneida Limited retailed stainless flatware in the "Twin Star" pattern through a coupon program beginning in the late 1950s. Customers could clip coupons from General Mills products to purchase the flatware or use a "speed plan" and pay cash to get more pieces at one time. "Twin Star," made from 1959 to 1972, was one of the most popular mid-twentieth-century flatware patterns.
