Notes: This pattern was used in the Ford Motor Company factory cafeterias (and possibly in the executive dining rooms) and aboard the Great Lake freighter vessels of the Ford Motor Co. Marine Division, operating from 1924-1989. The Ford fleet vessels included the SS William Clay Ford, SS Benson Ford and SS John Dykstra to name a few.
