The International Silver Company, an amalgamation of fourteen independent silverware manufacturers, was formed in 1898. Many of these manufacturers were the result of previous consolidations and mergers. The member companies kept their identities and continued to mark silverware with their own touch marks. In addition an International Silver mark was used on products sold by the parent company.
The Meriden- Wallingford, Connecticut area became the American silverware manufacturing center by 1900. International Silver's Joan of Arc and Prelude patterns proved to be popular in their introduction and are among the most desired of the company's products. Production reached its peak in the late 1940s.
International Silver has been marketed aggressively since its 1898 formation. In 1968, International Silver became part of Insilco, itself a large conglomerate. In 1972, International silver spun off its hotel division as an independent subsidiary, World Tableware International. A group of private investors purchased World Tableware in 1983 and organized the American Silver Company.
