The suggested flatware needed for each place setting scenario is listed in the table above. Walco offers this coding system: the numbers represent the last 2 (or 3) digits on all their patterns to identify the flatware. For example: in the Fanfare pattern – 2801 would be your teaspoon, 2806 is the salad fork. In the Barclay pattern, 1101 is the teaspoon, 1105 is the dinner fork, and so on.
