About: Towle Silversmiths is an American silver manufacturer. Towle Silversmiths was founded in 1857 as Towle & Jones by Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones, two apprentices to the Moulton family of silversmiths. In 1873 it became A.F. Towle & Son and in 1882, Anthony Francis Towle, while still owning A.F. Towle & Son, established the Towle Manufacturing Co. In 1890, the company adopted the trademark of a large script, T letter enclosing a lion. Richard Dimes, an English silversmith who had immigrated to the U.S. in 1881, started Towle's hollowware line. Dimes, who also worked for the Frank W. Smith Silver Co., would eventually establish his own company, Richard Dimes Co., in Boston. Later, the business name changed again to Towle Silversmiths. Over the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the Candlelight in 1934 and the Marie Louise in 1939, which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide. The Old Master pattern was designed in 1942 and is now considered by some to be the company's flagship pattern. The Contour pattern in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Arts Good Design exhibitions. In 1990 Towle Silversmiths was taken over by holding company Syratech Inc., which also owned Wallace Silversmiths and International Silver Company. In 2006, Lifetime Brands Inc. purchased Syratech Inc., acquiring all three brands. (Credit: Wikipedia)
