In 1902 George C. Lunt, a former engraver for the A .F. Towle & Son Company in Newbury, Massachusetts, bought out a smaller rival business in nearby Greenfield and renamed it Rogers, Lunt and Bowlen Co. They made hollowware, jewelry, and other silver items, often similar to the designs Lunt had originally created for Towle. In 1935 the name was changed to Lunt Silversmiths as George’s son took over. During World War II Lunt Silversmiths had a government contract to make yokes for airplanes used in the war effort, which led to a significant expansion in the machinery and personnel. In the 1950s Lunt’s Embassy Scroll pattern was chosen by the United States government as its official tableware in all U.S. embassies and consulates around the world. Throughout the second half of the 20th Century they frequently collaborated with designers to come up with unique but functional items, including renowned jewelry and clothing maker Lisa Jenks. In 2009 the company sold its name and inventory to competitor Reed & Barton, although descendents of Lunt continued to head the business as part of the terms of sale. Sadly, in early 2010 the company filed for bankruptcy protection and all remaining manufacturing and inventory assets at the factory were sold at auction.
