CatTails by Towle


Believe it or not there are two Cat Tail patterns, one by Durgin (that I posted on earlier) and this one by Towle. This pattern is very detailed,but not nearly as distinct as the Durgin pattern.

Glenmore by Towle

Glenmore is an old pattern,designed for Towle by George P. Tilton and introduced in 1880. The lines are very similar of patterns introduced at that time. There is a flourish on the end of the terminal, an open area suitable for engraving, then a floral motif leading to a ribbed pattern down the stem.
