About the pattern

Three finishes on one shape: plain 18/0, gold, champagne satin, and midnight glossy. The open stock runs in sixes rather than fours, which suits a table that seats six and never four.

No introduction year is published for Aptitude. 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.
