Special Features
No collection of American Place settings is complete
without at least one set of San Francisco Silver.
Probably the most practical to complete is the popular
Gothic pattern since it was made in nearly identical
versions by all three majors Vanderslice, Schulz &
Fischer and Kohler & Ritter. The only difference
that I find is that the K&R spoon bowls seem a bit
more pointed.
Dating
Morse gives Gothic as originating with Vanderslice in
1862. The three companies ceased producing flatware by
1880.

Note: |
I have not been able to find a dessert
spoon although I have one in Comstock, a
later Vanderslice pattern. Therefore they may
exist. I have never seen a pastry, fish, or
salad for in a San Francisco pattern. I would
not expect dinner knives to exist. |

Comments
Difficult to fond on the East coast
this pattern is surprisingly available in Northern
California. They are not marked sterling or coin so
many dealers do not know what they are.
