Poole Silver Company located in Taunton, Massachusetts, began producing its wares in 1893, made a wide range of silver plate and sterling silverware. Dating Poole silver plate using the markings on the metal alone is impossible, due to there being no standard marking system used by the company. Determining an exact manufacture date is unlikely, date range has been established based on pattern discontinued date and the fact that Poole sold the company to Towle. Although Towle continued manufacturing this pattern, they only produced flatware. This piece is most likely from 1960's, but could be much older.
