About the Item

1932 King Richard Towle Sterling Silver Flatware Set with 61 pieces. ALMOST 12 PLACE SETTINGS (Missing one Soup Spoon!) Only 11 Soup spoons, so not quite 12 place settings. We have also included 2 serving pieces pictured. 1 7 3/16 1 Strain Spoon 8 12 Knife 8 7/8 11 Soup Spoons 6 1/8 12 Spoons 6 12 Salad Fork 7 5/16 12 Fork 6 1/2 Over the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the "Candlelight" in 1934, the "Marie Louise" in 1939, which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide, and "Old Master" in 1942, now considered by some to be the company's flagship pattern. "Contour" in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions.
