Oneida manufactured three patterns in the 1940s 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. Goods are no longer produced in sterling silver. Today, Oneida continues as one of the world’s largest manufacturers of flatware, holloware, barware, vanity and novelty items along with china, crystal, and glassware, with factories around the globe.
