<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1586169, member: 111&quot;]The pattern is &#039;Flat Rose&#039;, it was based on a traditional 19th century Norwegian pattern, and somewhere around 1900, the Theodor Olsen shop started producing it as a die-stamped, rather than engraved, line pattern, it was most often made by Th. Olsens Eftf., with Brodrene Lohne another prolific maker of the pattern, and it was made and/or retailed by others as well.&nbsp; If I recall the history correctly, the conjoined &#039;MA/crown-over-seven-dots&#039; mark that is usually attributed to Magnus Aase became Th. Olsens&#039; mark in 1903/04, when Aase and his brother bought the shop, operating it as Th. Olsens Eftf., and Magnus Aase continued as a retailer, using the marks, &#039;M.AA&#039; and &#039;M.AASE&#039;, Aase closed down in the &#039;90s, but unless something&#039;s changed in the last few years, Olsens is still in business.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the hook - so practical...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
