Happy to answer any questions! Sharing the history because I think this is the best part! The Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings Bank, established in 1925, commissioned the Enoch Wedgwood Company to makes pecial dinnerware to commemorate their 50-year anniversary. The result was Liberty Blue, made exclusively for the bank between 1975 & 1976. There are 15 Historic Colonial Scenes of the period which coincided with the American Bicentennial in1976. New Account holders who made a $50 deposit, were offered a four-piece place setting. Additional pieces were available for purchase. In1 977 they offered additionally a special 20” turkey platter free to those who deposited $5,000. This beautiful ironstone blue and white dinnerware set was available exclusively until 1977, when the bank ended the promotion. Liberty Blue was then available at national grocery stores on a limited basis or on order from the Sigma Marketing Company in New Jersey. Customers were also able to buy a few pieces with their regular grocery purchases as part of supermarket promotions.
