Royal Windsor by Towle

Towle introduced Royal Windsor in 1935. It was designed by Harold E. Nock  who also designed Virginia Carvel, Rambler Rose , and Chased Diana for Towle. The pattern is interesting in that the stem opens up with a floral design that reaches a fan design at the tip of the terminal.
