Hobe Jewelry


Hi Everybody!  Just thought I would relay the following info received in reply to my e-mail question regarding Hobe signatures and dates: "The answer is yes.  Hobe signed a few items in the late 50's and early 60's with a year included.

Sincerely,

James W. Hobé


Gold over sterling is from the 30’s. Don Hobé
