Specialist note

The first service Peggy and I ever purchased after we were married was a portion of the dinner service illustrated here. We acquired additional pieces in 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1952. As a result, we were able to put together a rather complete service, which we have enjoyed and used often over the years.
