Taxco was became famous during WWII when American and European luxury goods were not being made. Spratling settled there and apprenticed other silversmiths to make the finest quality silver. It was purchased by Saks fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Gumps and other fine jewelers and retailers.
Taxco became a resort destination for the glamorous Hollywood set and other wealthy travelers, while travel was curtailed to places like France, Italy & Greece.
