When Silverware Takes Flight
When it comes to silver one name stands out supreme amongst its competitors. That name is Oneida. Oneida has a consistent history of quality dating as far back as 1899 with its introduction to the market as one of the first joint stock companies in America. Since its arrival in the silver trade Oneida has been the force behind such successful brands as Flight, Heritage, Easton, Paul Revere, and American harmony. The brand continues even today to manufacture timeless designs for the dinnerware consumer.
There is only one thing that Oneida has been known for as much as its silverware and that is it’s upbringings in a small utopian community located in Oneida, New York. With an eye to its perfectionist belief system, John Humphrey Noyes helped to steer the community from its 1846 founding to the now famous silverware legacy it’s known for today.
This company has sure had a history of strange beliefs and customs, but regardless of how strange they may have been it was their beliefs that helped them to become so successful. The Oneida name is synonymous for a host of interesting and wild tales but even without these the products themselves can stand by themselves. There is much more to the Oneida flight brand that makes it a great choice when searching for the perfect flatware set for your dining table.
One reason to look at Oneida is the incredibly crafted style of their flatware. An example of this can be seen in their flight line. The Oneida Flight brand boasts “form, grace, and style” for its advertising slogan, and happily it lives up to its word. Not only does it live up to its word on flight, but Oneida features a wide range of other timeless brands that will make any flatware appreciator jealous.
One of the great features of the Oneida brand is its dedication to only using quality materials. Each line of products from the company only features high quality mixes without any additional substance cut in to lower the quality of the finished product. What this means to you the consumer is less corrosion and a longer sheen that will last for years to come.
Not only is Oneida styled well, it also places great importance on its technical design. What that means for you is that each piece has been weighted and aerodynamically designed to fit perfectly and comfortably into your hand. Their designs also place a great deal of importance on functionality which means that your chosen design will be both durable and easy to take care of.
A “pattern for a lifetime” guarantee is another appealing feature that causes Oneida flight brand to stand out from the other similar manufacturers. What this means for you is that you have a promise from the company that if any part of your set gets lost or stolen, regardless of whether the company currently makes the design, you can still order and have replaced the piece that has been lost or stolen.
Oneida also has an open stock policy. Just about everyone has been in the situation where we only lose one spoon or fork and would like to replace them without buying a whole new set to replenish our flatware trays. So, if for example you lose a piece of your flight flatware set, the open stock policy would allow you to buy just one piece of flight rather than having to buy an entire expensive second set of your flight flatware.
Oneida’s original community was known for much more than just silver. Their products at one time spread much further including food, silk, hats, and even animal traps. However, it’s no wonder that with all of these characteristics, the Oneida silver brand was the only thing to survive through religious upheaval, political strife, and even a tornado that just about wiped out the community.
Their survival is a true testimony to the timelessness and quality that has allowed this brand to compete with the many other fine brands on the market. They have survived for more than a century for good reason. Looking at their history should assure you that choosing Oneidas Flight pattern is not only a wise choice, but it’s also a choice that is going to grant you beautiful flatware for centuries to come.
