About the pattern

Plain, midnight, and champagne on a squared-off handle, sold mostly as twenty-piece boxes for four. The champagne version is the one with matching serving pieces and open-stock forks, so if you expect to expand, start there rather than with the plain steel.

No introduction year is published for Allay. Oneida kept dated records for its silverplate and sterling and did not do the same for stainless, so the honest answer here is a blank rather than a guess. Dating an individual piece is still possible from the marks on the back: see how to identify a pattern.
