The history of Towle Silversmiths is unique. In 1682 William Moulton II (1664-1732) departed his home, a family farm in Hampton, New Hampshire. He traveled to and eventually settled near the Merrimac River near Newbury, Massachusetts. Newbury eventually became known as Newburyport. Several years later in 1690, William attempted silversmithing. He was the first to attempt this in Newbury, and subsequently gained the title of the first silversmith in a long lineage of craftsmen. Six consecutive generations of Moulton silversmiths followed. Towle Silversmiths represents centuries of silversmithing without interruption on the banks of the Merrimac River in Newburyport.
The Towle tradition of quality and craftsmanship is still being carried on to this day. Towle flatware is a company whose history spans a time period longer than that of the United States. Today, Towle Silversmiths remains a leader in the silver industry.
Sterling silver is a white and highly reflective precious metal. Sterling refers to silver that is 92.5 percent pure, which should be stamped on the metal, sometimes accompanied by the initials of the designer or country of origin as a hallmark.
