The History of Hickock
Stephen Rae Hickok founded a small jewelry store in Rochester, New York, in 1909. His son, Raymond, took charge at 28 and expanded Hickok into the world’s largest belt manufacturer. Beyond belts, Hickok gained renown for accessories like cufflinks, tie bars, and cigarette boxes. They produced accessories under several different names including Crocodile Grip, Hi-Lite, Individually Yours, Live Flex, Nugget Knots, and Sky High.
In 1961, Hickok acquired Pioneer Industries Inc., Philadelphia’s second-largest men’s accessory manufacturer. This move elevated Rochester as the hub for men’s accessories nationwide. Until the 1970s, Hickok remained a family-run business, later bought by a holding company and then by Ft. Worth’s Tandy Corporation in 1970. Operations shifted to Texas in 1972. Hickok ceased operations in the late 1980s amid Tandy Corporation’s decline.
