Great info Carolyn67!! Thanks a mil. This was very helpful as I have been running into dead ends attempting to find info. This will help me to try to price it or go in search of replacement pieces for those damaged.

Have lot’s of info for you! Your set was made first 6 mth of 1956 (***56 U) under stamp. There was 3 differnt stamps of Quaker Girl used from 1952-67 as promotionl dinnerware.They made many different patterns using these 3 stamps. In Short your set is not a quaker girl pattern name. I still think it is Tilling the soil”. Notice man holding fork or rake in field? I hate to use the word “rare” but your set was not a big seller when new. Most women back then wanted flower’s etc. As far as value i don’t know if the demand is there for this pattern. I could not find any like your pattern at all ,not even on replacement websites. Your dishes were made in Salem,Ohio so I would’nt know if thats nantucket island. I have several 100rds of books that I started buying new and at auctions several years ago. This info came from American Dinnerware, Harvey Duke pottery & porcelian and my “bible” Lehners U.S marks on pot. por & clay by Lois Lehner.

Thanks Carolyn67. I hope you would be willing to share your articles or where you found them. I have not been finding anything in my attempts. I have attached a picture of the back. Let me know your thoughts on it, also. [img size=388]https://kovels.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/quaker_girl_back.jpg[/img]

Hi, I have several articles on Salem china, Most of the info is 1940-50ties patterns. I would like to see the back stamp to try and date it. Does it say Quaker Girl on back? They made a pattern called Pioneer Maid and Tilling the Soil. Your right about one thing, Dinnerware for some reason is a very hard sell unless you can buy it cheap and sell it cheap. I personally have a hard time selling complete old dinnerware set’s at flea markets. Now if it’s corelle that’s a sold.
