National Silver Company was founded by Founded by Samuel E. Bernstein in 1904, they were makers of sterling and silverplated flatware and holloware.  In 1940 they were acquired by Cheltenam & Co. Ltd., then by F.B. Rogers in 1955, and the Ontario Mfg. Co. in 1956. Looks like by the 1970's the National Silver Company name was faded from use.
