Oneida Community Plate Coronation / Hampton Court design canteen which was a wedding present in the 1950's - new, unused and in excellent condition From internet research this design was first made in 1936 to celebrate the coronation of Edward VIII and later renamed to Hampton Court when Edward abdicated. There are 6 plate settings that include 6 table knives, 6 table forks, 6 dessert knives, 6 dessert forks, 6 dessert spoons, 6 soup spoons, 6 teaspoons and 2 serving spoons. The knives have been stored standing in the lid without any wrapping and have been wiped with a silver cloth, The others haven't been touched as they are clean and bright as stored in individual plastic covers. The canteen box is dark wood - possibly oak or mahogany - and is in excellent condition with no marks. Most of the canteens seen on the internet have a red or blue interior and very few in green, not sure if this is rare or unusual. What must be rare is the outer cardboard box this is stored in, with a label at one end 'ONE WARWICK 44 PCE GREEN' which could refer to the colour of the inlay. This is a beautiful design and could start a new collection or add to an existing one, and is excellent unused condition from the 1950's that has been stored in a house at all times.
