Does anyone know the name of the china pattern that the Cleaver's ate their meals from? It looks like there's a barn or covered bridge and some pine trees in the pattern. Thanks.

I'd call them "Pennsylvania Dutch". My parents had something similar and from around that (late-1950's/early 1960's) same period. My parents' china was a light yellow with black etching. Of course, with only black & white shows, it is hard to tell what the Cleavers had.

Actually, a thing I notice in Beaver is the make-up of Ward's den in the second house. In some of the shows there is a large floor-mounted globe in front of the window and in others there is a television set.
