I'm hoping someone can give me some information on this set. I can't seem to locate anything online for this pattern,etc. anything?

Even though it looks like a German mark at first glance (as in "originally created and registered in Germany"), it is not: shown mark was registered to Lifetime Imports, Inc. from South Bend, Indiana. They imported and distributed custom-marked porcelain they purchased from various German manufacturers (between 1955 and 1960, if I remember correctly). Hence there is not much 'background' to fill in, the original manufacturer remains unknown.

LOL! Yeah, thought I'd just jump in and see some *sane* people for a change ...

Working on a big page update and knee-deep in archive gunk the last three months, I started to believe that *all* people had suddenly turned into book-dust-covered archive-keeper zombies in grey suits or dresses ... *shudder* ... even my coffee started to taste *grey* (my fault, should have stuck to good old "Earl Grey" in the first place, eh?).
