When I partook of school dinners in the 60's the cutlery was stamped "LCB".(I am assuming that it was the same in all schools). We never could work out what it stood for......does anyone know?

I found an LCB spoon in my cutlery drawer this morning. Don't remember seeing it before. Spooky!

Google LCB and cutlery and you get hits for high quality german LCB cutlery - where LCB stands for Le Cordon Bleu!I don't remember anything about school dinners which could be described as cordon bleu.

This was stamped on the upperside of the cutlery and not discreetly on the underside like a maker's mark. We always thought it must mean "Leeds City ?????"

LCB could be what it is made of. Just a thought.

I can remember school cutlery with W.R.C.C. on it in Doncaster but I suspect that wouldn't be the case in Leeds - could it be the local precursor of the YPO?

I wonder if the LCB could stand for Leeds County Borough, which was the name for Leeds until 1974 (though I think it was more correctly the County Borough of Leeds) when it became the City and Metropolitan Borough of Leeds.
