I purchased this flatware for my mom for Christmas it reminded of what we had growing up.  When mom saw the set she thought the same.   The only thing the Quality of the product is very cheap!  The flat ware is very light, and flimsy and not what I expected.  But my mom does not believe in returning gifts, she believes in complaining about it every time I see her LOL  I would not purchase, unless you like light and flimsy.
