Oneida Community Queen Bess II teaspoons make up this set of 11 silverplate spoons from the Tudor Plate line, with the pattern introduced circa 1946.
The spoons are solid in shape with readable handle decoration, while visible tarnish, darkened areas, uneven silver tone, and surface scratching show throughout the set.
The diagonal floral handle design gives this Queen Bess II silverplate lot an easy fit with vintage table settings, replacement flatware, and Oneida pattern collections.

Collector's Notes
Queen Bess II was introduced in the postwar period and uses a floral handle design associated with Oneida Community's Tudor Plate silverplate line.
A lot of 11 matching teaspoons gives a collector or household a useful group for replacement pieces, table settings, or expanding an existing Queen Bess II service.
The exact TUDOR PLATE ONEIDA COMMUNITY mark and matching floral decoration help identify these as pieces from the same Oneida line.
The visible tarnish has been left plainly shown so the next owner can judge the finish and decide how much polishing they prefer.
