<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 388026, member: 59&quot;]Lovely pitcher, but it&#039;s silver plated not sterling (in case you didn&#039;t know.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The mark here is a reflection of the combination of 3 companies. Poole Silver of Taunton MA was acquired by Towle in 1971. Towle also acquired Leonard Silver in 1978. But the Leonard Silver Company tradename continued to be used since Leonard Florence (the founder of Leonard) became chairman of Towle. So your pitcher dates post 1978 at least. The Poole and Towle companies had excellent and longstanding reputations, whereas Leonard was much newer and not as well known, thus you have this mark playing on the Poole reputation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
