JAMES T. WOOLLEY - Boston, MA
After a training at Gorham, Woolley (1864-after 1927) worked for many years for the Boston silversmiths Goodnow and Jenks and established his own workshop in 1908. An early member and award-winning medalist of Boston's Society of Arts and Crafts, he also belonged to the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts and exhibited in New York City. Much of Woolley's work reflects the Colonial Revival style.

If you would like your items shipped First Class please inquire with us (we do not recommend First Class shipping and prefer Priority).  A number of countries have low insurance value limits, which frequently are less than the sale price of an item. **Buyer assumes all risks for items purchased in excess of their countries’ insurance limit as well as any packages shipped First Class at the buyer’s request.
Import duties, taxes and charges are NOT included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.  Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.  These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick up the item – Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.  We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit this.
