Deep Silver was offered by International Silver during the 1960s. Patterns in Deep Silver were more expensive than regular silver-plated flatware, yet less expensive than sterling. The company promoted Deep Silver as having a heavy plating combined with a bar of sterling at the places the utensils rested on the table. In other words, the buyer did not have to worry about a loss of silver on the back of a fork or spoon where it rested on the table as that spot was reinforced with a small bar of sterling silver. Typically, that spot is the first place that begins to show wear. At some point (1970s?) the company stopped making Deep Silver but continued some of the same patterns in regular silver-plate. My set of Deep Silver is almost fifty years old and shows no loss of plating.
