HISTORY AND MARKS
Active at 542 Broadway (Showroom) 4-6 Marion St. & 187-189 Elm St. (Production), New York.
The origins of the company date back to Ignatius Rice (b.1838 - d.1910) who in 1867 formed a partnership with his brother Bernard (b.1836 - d.1896). The partnership was dissolved in 1891 when Bernard entered in partnership with his eldest son Jacques (b.1869 - d.1935) forming Bernard Rice & Son.
After the death of Bernard Rice, in 1897 was formed the new partnership Bernard Rice's Sons between Jacques and his brother Louis Rice (b.1872 - d.1933).
In 1901 APOLLO Silver Company was a registered trade name owned by Rice brothers
