Our heritage

Crafted by hand. Rooted in tradition.

In 1940 Phil Fritch opened Fritch Brothers Silversmiths on Beverly Boulevard in Hollywood, after learning his trade as an apprentice to Edward Bohlin. More than eighty years and three generations later, the same dies and presses are still turning out hand-engraved Western silver.
