Vale

About the pattern

Vale exists here only as open stock and one serving set, all in sixes. There is no boxed Vale service in the catalog, so a table gets built a half-dozen at a time. Prices sit inside a six-dollar band across every piece, which makes the arithmetic easy.

No introduction year is published for Vale. 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.
