Towle & Son was owned by Anthony Francis Towle, he founded a new company while still owning A .F. Towle & Son and named it Towle Manufacturing Company that eventually became Towle Silversmiths)
The company has remained in the Lunt family hands since that time the company is now led by the fourth and fifth generations of the Lunt family.
In 1935, the name was changed to Lunt Silversmiths, which it remains until today.
