What does the “WDSCIN1” mark mean?

The Whiting Cinderella Sterling pattern is a delicate, traditionally styled design that reflects the soft, romantic aesthetic common in Whiting’s early–20th-century flatware. The handle features a graceful taper with a rounded terminal, framed by subtle contour lines that give the piece gentle definition without heavy ornamentation. Near the tip, a small floral-inspired accent provides the pattern’s signature decorative touch—elegant, light, and well-suited to the “Cinderella” name. This example includes monograms, placed neatly within the smooth central panel of the handle. Monogramming was typical for Whiting sterling and integrates naturally into the pattern without disrupting the overall design. The internal code WDSCIN1 represents Whiting/Gorham’s cataloging system used for tracking and referencing pattern variants in later inventories. While the precise production dates for Cinderella Sterling are unknown, the design reflects Whiting’s hallmark combination of clean lines, modest decoration, and quality die-struck sterling craftsmanship.
