First introduced in 1937 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the firm, the Century Pattern was marketed in advertising by Tiffany & Co. as "a new flatware service of classic simplicity in the modern spirit" (J. Loring, Tiffany's 20th Century: A Portrait of American Style, New York, 1997). A flatware service in this pattern was sold from The Dwight D. and Mamie Eisenhower Collection, Christie's, New York, 19 January 2018, lot 218. The Eisenhower service, engraved with monogram DDE and later engraved The Columbine, was used by President Eisenhower aboard the Columbine II, the first presidential aircraft to use the now synonymous Air Force One callsign.
