Formed as an experimental utopian social community at
Oneida Creek, the group began making flatware in the late 1870's,
and their sterling line started in 1914. The production of silverplated
holloware began in 1926. Oneida acquired Wm. A. Rogers, Ltd. in
1929 who had the trademark name Heirloom and Oneida also
acquired S.L. & G.H. Rogers through that purchase. Oneida
manufactured three patterns in the 1940's for Empire Crafts Corp.
under the name Royal Crest and produced another three patterns
for private distribution under the name State House. The "cube"
mark was first used in 1965. Today they are manufacturers of a full line of sterling and silverplate flatware,
holloware, barware, vanity and novelty items along with china, crystal, and glassware. Website.
