Lunt Silversmiths began its activity and was incorporated in Greenfield, MA in 1902 as Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen Company.
The firm succeeded to A. F. Towle & Son Co purchasing its tools, machinery, trademarks and good-will.
The business was managed by George E. Rogers (1849-1915, President and major investor), George Colby Lunt (Treasurer and General Manager) and William Caldwell Bowlen (1868-1934, Vice President and supervisor of manufacturing until his retirement in 1929).
George C. Lunt and William C. Bowlen were both qualified members of the staff of the defunct Towle's factory.
The company would become a celebrated domestic designer and producer of flatware, hollowware, and giftware for generations to come remaining in Lunt family hands for more than 100 years, making it the oldest continuously operating family-owned silver company in the United States.
In 1935 Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen Company's name was shortened to Lunt Silversmiths.
