The first piece is actually by A.F. Towle & Son Co. which was formed after Anthony Towle left Towle Silversmiths in 1890. The firm operated until 1902 when it was taken over by Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen. It looks like the pattern is Priscilla patented in 1897. The second piece looks like the pattern Albany patented around 1890 by Towle Silversmiths. Over the years, silver manufacturers had many names for the same type of piece, depending on what was popular at the moment. The vermeiled bowl indicates that the piece was designed to be used with food containing sulfur, the vermeil being used to protect the silver from reacting with the sulfur. IP: Logged |
