A.G. Russell Co. was started by stamp maker Avalon G. Russell in 1946 in Hartford CT. When he decided it was time to sell, it just so happened that a few guys from Noblewest were looking to buy…
Noblewest (later Schmidt Noblewest) in East Hartford CT, began the education of Lee Lowe, his brother Doug Lowe, and Certified Engraver Frank Fetera. In their 10 years at Noblewest, they became leaders in their respective fields, learning all the ins and outs of the marking and engraving business . They took this knowledge with them, and together with Frank Hayes, began transforming A.G. Russell into the company is it today.
Eventually the guys moved to the historic Colt building in Hartford. After 17 years there, A.G. Russell moved to its current location at 60 George Street in East Hartford in 2003.
