Hi again,
I cannot find this maker for the life of me. I really like the pattern too and I would like to know when it is from! It looks really old, it's pretty thin too. Marked with a Jeweler's stamp as well - MW Shaw who I thinkwas out of Galveston TX.
Thanks so much!

Towle Mfg./Silversmiths was formed as a separate company from the earlier A.F. Towle & Son, with Towle Mfg. Co. starting in 1882 (the lion-in-T trademark put in use in 1890) - A.F. Towle & Son remained in business until 1900, and they were acquired by the newly formed Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen in 1901. Your pattern is 'Verona', introduced in 1894, and also produced as a Lunt pattern.

Awesome thank you Cheryl! Such good info, I had no idea about Towle's origins like that. I will add that to my "database" haha. I have a bunch of these teaspoons and I love that they are called Verona - like romeo and juliet! hehe. :)
Thanks again!!
