Signed SHB vintage costume jewelry
The history of SHB jewelry trademark owned by Shofel Bros Mfg Co began in 1962. Its founders were Masha Shofel (1920-1987), Mark Shofel (1926-1988), and Larry Shofel (1931 -2016). It was a family business headquartered at the address 71 West 47th Street New York, New York (10036). The company manufactured costume jewelry with the use of 14 K gold and glass imitating natural stones. The marking included capital letters SHB without a copyright sign. Noteworthy, Shofel Bros Mfg made jewelry for Avon, accordingly, the marking consisted of two stamps – SHB and Avon.
Unfortunately, Masha and Mark passed away in 1987 and 1988 respectively. Left alone, Larry was unable to continue the family business and retired. He lived until 2016, and was buried next to Masha and Mark at the New York Cemetery.
Thus, founded in 1962, the company ceased to exist in 1987, after 25 years in the costume jewelry market.
