LeBolt & Company was originally founded as a jewelry store in 1899 by J. Meyer LeBolt at 167 South State St. in Chicago, Illinois. In 1912, a workshop for producing hand made silver was added. The business was later taken over by the founder's son, John LeBolt. One of the earliest craftsman to work at LeBolt was a Hungarian named Edmund Boker, who founded the Chicago Art Silver Shop. LeBolt & Company produced sterling flatware and hollowware.
