Hello. This is my first post and I'm so happy that the research department at Replacements told me about your site. My mother was a collector of many things, flatware among them. I blame her for my many obsessions. wink

Currently, I'm trying to find out any information available on a flatware manufacturer that produced items stamped "Cataract Silver" or "Cataract Plate Co". I've learned that "Cataract" was/is a nickname for the Niagara Falls region, so there's a potential that the company was located in that vicinity.

I've seen a few listings of their items however none match the pattern I have inherited from my Mom. Ultimately I'd like to identify the pattern but at this point, I can't find ANYTHING about the company.

Thanks for any information, clues or resources you can provide.

Cheers, Ideasbrewing

I have to resize my photos at work tomorrow and will upload them then.

Even if the pattern can’t be identified, I’d still be very interested in any information about the company itself.

Thanks
