Re: (erielack) ELDPCS Flatware

Joshua,

The DL&W Silverware was produced by the original manufacturer, Reed & Barton. 
R&B were the original suppliers for the Sierra pattern to the Lackawanna, so 
it was natural that we have the original manufacturer reproduce them. They 
were even able to locate the original stamp "DL&W" in their archives. 

It would be the same if today the Lackawanna telephoned R&B and said, "Send 
us 6 dozen each of the Sierra pattern, marked." Instead of it being the 
Lackawanna, it was ELDCPS. 

So are they reproductions? Yes, but they are a current run from he original 
dies and stamping.  

Hope this helps.
