About the pattern

The satin version was catalogued as Minute Man and the glossy one as Colonial Boston, same stamp, and both names still circulate among owners. A colonial ribbed handle in 18/0, available in fours, in an eight-seat box, and by the piece.

Two catalog names on one stamp is common in Oneida’s records and it strands owners who search the wrong one. If you inherited pieces marked or listed as Minute Man, this is the same pattern. More of these pairs are on the identification page.

No introduction year is published for Colonial Boston. 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.
