<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 1569900, member: 5515&quot;]Ah yes of course. Foolishly I sometimes assume that everyone connected the dots in the same manner as the veterans on the forum. The set initially listed appears to be the pattern Towle Old Colonial. For me, the point of focus that allows me to quickly find the pattern is two distinct details:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. As I&#039;m scanning for patterns to match, I&#039;m focusing on the pointed end of the handle, as that&#039;s a unique style feature not present in many patterns.</p><p>2. Once I think I have identified the pattern, I go back to google and search for Towle Old Colonial to see if I can match the center of the pattern near the knife blade (although that photo is blurry it&#039;s not useless)</p><p>3. Finally I go back to search to ensure that this pattern (or one very similar) wasn&#039;t made in silverplate. If I know it wasn&#039;t made in plate, I can pull the trigger without anymore research. If a similar (or identical pattern) exists in silverplate or even stainless, I&#039;m going to ask for photos of the back for confirmation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
