Yes my first pattern was Oneida Senorita that I purchased right after I graduated from college (1973).  I still use it for everyday flatware.

Good grief(!)    I can't remember anything.    Yesterday, I was frantic because I thought I lost my wedding ring..   (It was on my right hand.)  di

First flatware was Louisiana by Oneida, cookware, Pail Revere and I can't remember what my dishes were.

Oneida Community in 1975

@Sooner I had to go find a magnifying glass to read what it says on the backs of the pieces.  One set is by International Sterling called "Serenity"

The other set is by Oneida called "Community".

Here is the Oneida set:

I don't remember my flatware, it was so long ago, but it probably had a flower cluster or rose on it.  I do remember my dinnerware.  I wanted the Village pattern by Pfaltzgraff, but it was expensive so I bought a set in a box (probably two sets) at Service Merchandise.  It was stoneware, cream color field with a brown floral trim.

Now you've got me wondering what mine is called. Does anyone remember cutting box tops off Betty Crocker packaged goods? I did that as a kid, and redeemed them for rose patterned silverware. I still use it, and have lost many pieces, but still have the big serving forks and spoons. We never put china or silverware on a bridal registry. I wanted linens and small appliances.

I use ours every day, 49 years and have only lost one piece.

My brother and sister-in-law married in 1963 and she and her mother cut the box tops off Betty Crocker boxes. Linda got all her silverware and cookware that way.
