What old Towle flatware can be worth

Old Towle flatware can be valuable when it is sterling, a desirable pattern, and a substantial service. Small or mixed lots need weight, pattern, and condition before comparison.

Recent records show Towle Old Colonial services and Paul Revere sets performing strongly when piece count and pattern support demand.

Condition and authenticity cautions

Knives and weighted pieces are not fully weighable sterling. Monograms and mixed replacement pieces can affect replacement demand.
