They were produced by skilled factory design teams to meet the booming post-war demand for formal home entertaining.Leonard Silver Manufacturing Co. (USA): Founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1969 by Leonard Florence, this company quickly became a powerhouse in the silverplate industry. Known for classic, heavy-duty hollowware featuring distinct "Lead Mounts" (LEAD MTS.), these handles and trims allowed for intricate, ornate casting that mimicked expensive old English Sheffield plate. Leonard was eventually acquired by the world-renowned Towle Silversmiths in 1978.Viking Plate & Primrose (Canada): These brands represent classic mid-century Canadian manufacturing, primarily produced by companies like Lipman-Levinter Ltd. in Toronto. "Viking Plate" was one of Canada's most ubiquitous and trusted lines for wedding gifts and formal dining sets from the 1940s through the 1960s, highly regarded for using a durable brass base rather than cheaper white metal alloys.
