~1901 Catalogue
~Daniel Low & Co.
Jewelry & Sterling
Gold and Silver Smiths
Salem, Mass.
Established 1867

Older catalogues shed light on the jewelry and accessories of times past. Illustrations date the items we collect and enjoy today, and help us understand how these lovely things were worn and used.
It is also interesting to see how these accessories were priced over 100 years ago. Where possible, we have added pictures of the items illustrated in the catalogue.
Originally a local jewelry shop, by the late 1800's, Daniel Low & Co. was distributing their gifts catalogue and selling nationally via mail order.

Note: These items were photographed from private collections, and are for reference only.
Jewelry that is available for sale can be accessed from the links at the bottom of this page.
