Question
Inherited two sets of "silverware"- both "Eternally Yours".  Who made it and is it an 'active' pattern?  Is it valuable to anyone but me?
Thanks

Answer
Hello Joyce.  Eternally Yours was produced from 1941 until 1973.  It was quite popular, so the resale value tends to be higher than many patterns from the same period.  A service for 12 in excellent condition may go for $150 to $200 in a retail setting.
