Lebolt & Co.

American, active c. 1912–1945
PlaceChicago, Illinois, United States
Biographyhttp://www.chicagosilver.com/lebolt.htm

Apart from the Kalo Shop, the other large and long-lived Chicago silversmith was Lebolt & Co. J. Myer Lebolt added a handwrought silversmithing department to his family's Chicago jewelry store in 1912.

Like Randahl, Lebolt initially produced bowls, trays, tea sets and other holloware similar to that from the Kalo Shop, and like Randahl, the operation eventually employed a fairly large number of designers and smiths. The silver was sold at Lebolt's storefronts in Chicago and New York.

At one point Lebolt also had a retail operation in Paris, which it mentioned in its upscale advertisements.
