Author	Topic: Can someone ID pattern?
awhyte Posts: 4 Registered: May 99	posted 09-02-2002 07:43 PM [01-0797] Can someone help me with this pattern--maker and pattern name? I found a photo of this in an auction catalog where it was identified as Towle Arlington, a multi-motif pattern. But an Arlington collector tells me it's not. I would like to know what it is? Thanks.

First thing to do is to look at the back and tell us what it says.. Once we know the maker it becomes fairly easy.. or better yet post a close up photo of the marks on the back and a description.. much easier.. Looking foward to helping out.

It is marked simply sterling and with the retailer's name of C.A.W. Crosby. Thanks! Adrienne [This message has been edited by awhyte (edited 09-03-2002).] IP: Logged
Vi Walker unregistered	posted 09-07-2002 03:30 PM Your spoon is a much more interesting pattern than Arlington, which is similar but features only one flower and leaf. The bowl brite cut engraving is consistent with some Towle patterns. Collectors and dealers find great pieces/patterns sometimes that defy definition but in no way diminishes the beauty. Your piece is lovely. If you see more of it before somebody accurately identifies it, but as soon as it has a name, pieces will cost more! Vi Walker IP: Logged
