I am not sure of the age.
Towle Silversmiths was active from 1882 to present day
in Newburyport, MA.
The lion inside of a "T" trademark that is on this piece
was first used in 1890.
I suspect this is an old piece, because it had just
the trademark and word "Sterling" and not
the word "Towle" in addition.
I have noticed this on other pieces I've seen.
I am not an expert, so this is just a guess!
A truly elegant piece!
