Towle started making tea sets in 1942 with their "Old Master" pattern. Towle Silversmiths is a Massachusetts-based company that has been making sterling silver flatware since the late 1600s. I have a vintage classic tea set by Towle for sale that is in almost perfect condition. I would rate it a 9 out of 10, and for it's age (at least 50 years old) it is hard and rare to find one in this kind of condition. It is not even tarnished. Any imperfections that you see are just reflections of light and other things in the room where these pics were taken.
NOTE: The amazing photos you see are NOT stock photos. They are photos I actually took myself of the actual set you will be getting! And yes....the set really IS this beautiful in person!
• The Old Master pattern was designed by Harold E. Nock and features scalloped edges, scrolls, and an understated flower motif.
• The Old Master pattern is considered by some to be the company's flagship pattern.
• Towle also introduced the Grand Duchess 5-pc tea and coffee service with a tray in 1973. This service can be used to serve tea, coffee, cream, and sugar from a tray.
• Towle Silversmiths is owned by the Lifetime Brands corporation, which also produces Wallace Silversmiths and the International Silver Company products.
Towle's sterling silver, silver-plated, and stainless steel products are appreciated across the country for their beauty and extraordinary quality. They resist tarnishing and seem to stay bright for many, many years even when left out on display. The quality is OUTSTANDING!
