"Nobility" pattern or maker?

I bought this pretty reticulated tray at a yard sale. The only marking on the back is "Nobility". Is this a maker's name or is it the Nobility pattern by Oneida? I can't find any exact matches.

 

That's a pattern name or a production line . I'd expect. No idea whodunnit.

 

Aren't Oneida steel manufacturers?

 

Is it an illusion caused by the angle of the photograph, or do the incised designs not line up with the floral pattern in the center?

 

It's just the slight angle of the photo. They do line up.

 

That's a relief...

 

Don't believe Oneida produced a 'Nobility' pattern. Nobility Plate, like Royal Crest Sterling, was a division of Newark-based Empire Crafts from the 1930s into the '60s, they were 'door-to-door' companies, offering appointments in their advertising. Oneida bought the firm sometime in the '60s, continuing production of their flatware patterns.

They made stainless flatware and silverplate.

 

Oneida produced sterling silver flatware and holloware in addition to silverplate and stainless steel...
