Old Newbury by Towle

Towle's Old Newbury was introduced in 1900. It is a fairly simple pattern at first glance, but then look again and there are many subtle details.

Sauce Ladle Part 3

As I have posted earlier on Sauce Ladles, they vary greatly. Here we have an example of a square cup (Japanese), a deep cup (Royal Danish), and with a side spout (Palm Beach). Size also varies, these 4 examples alone vary from 5 7/8 inches to 7 1/2 inches. Still  whatever the variation this is a beautiful very useful piece.

Towle's Mary Chilton pattern was introduced in 1912.The pattern's namesake was one of only 11 female children who survived the crossing of the Mayflower. Lore has it she was the first to put foot on the "New World" - she was so excited she jumped out of the boat.
