Poole Silver Company was an American silver manufacturing company, active in Taunton, Massachusetts from 1892-1971. The Poole Silver Company was formed in 1892 by George Poole and Edward Roche in Taunton as Poole, Roche & Co., then established as a corporation on May 21, 1895, as an early manufacturer of silver products made with electroplating techniques. In 1900 it operated in a small two-room factory at 106 Whittenton Street, and later moved to 320 Whittenton Street. Later, Poole bought the full control and managed the company until his death. Poole was succeeded by his three sons until 1946 when they retired and sold the company to a group headed by Sidney A. Kane. In 1946 was opened a sterling silver department, in 1950 the Bristol Silver division for popular plated holloware and in 1964 the brass division. In 1971 the company was bought by Towle Silversmiths. Poole is now (2020) property of Lifetime Brands, Inc. owner of other historic brands as Gorham, International Silver, Kirk Stieff, Towle Silversmiths, Tuttle and Wallace.
