Unconditional and Indefinite Guarantee. OLD ENGLISH - In its present form, Old English dates from around the 1750's. It evolved from the Rattail pattern, with the central ridge of Rattail becoming the 'pip' of Old English at the end of the handle and the 'rat tail' shortening to a 'drop' and eventually disappearing. We are often asked why the pip is on the front of the forks but on the back of the spoons. This is because at the time in which this pattern first appeared, spoons would have been placed on a table with the bowls facing down. Set this way, the pip is visible on all pieces.
