Towle Silversmiths first began in the artisanal shop of William Moulton, the first silversmith in Newbury, Massachusetts, in 1690. Moulton’s family continued to operate the shop at its original location for multiple generations, and in 1857 apprentices Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones took control of the company and incorporated their work as Towle & Jones. In 1873 it became A.F. Towle & Son, and in 1882 Anthony established the Towle Manufacturing Co. while still owning A.F. Towle & Son. In 1890, the company adopted the trademark of a large script “T” 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 independently establish Richard Dimes Co. in Boston. By the 20th Century the company’s name was changed to Towle Silversmiths. In 1990, Towle Silversmiths was acquired by the holding company Syratech Inc., which also owned Wallace Silversmiths and the International Silver Company. In 2006, Lifetime Brands Inc. purchased Syratech Inc., thereby acquiring all three brands.
