Poured 50.081 oz Silver Bar Hoover & Strong Engelhard Buffalo New YorkLess than 1000 mintageThis bar is a subsidiary of EngelhardJay Hoover and Harry Strong founded Hoover & Strong in Buffalo, NY in 1912. The company’s original venture was the recovery of platinum from industrial light bulbs, refining the metal and selling it to the local platinum smiths. Harry Strong stayed with the company for only three years, as business could not support both partners. Because money was already invested on the company sign and stationary the Hoover and Strong name remained. As sales expanded and the supply of industrial platinum scrap diminished, the company started purchasing platinum and eventually scrap gold jewelry.
