They were employed to make steel and silver products for the US army during WW1, and up until as recently as 2017, made prolific and renowned silverware that adorned American's homes for decades, as well as some notable political and historical buildings. The company has now gone bankrupt and been aquired by The Lenox Company, and even for the last years of their existence resorted to imported stainless steel from china, the R&B companies ties in United States history are undeniable, and the fact so much of their cutlery is still being collected, sold, bought, and heralded in high regard goes as a testament to the enduring quality of US steel and silver !
