The Crumrine family relocated the company
to Reno, Nevada in the fall of 1979. Then nestled
against the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Comstock

of hand crafted products made in the U.S.A.

Manufacturing. Since then, the company has continued in
the hand crafted practices with production facilities in
Mexico. They now market and distribute its products in
territories in the continental U.S. and around the
world.
Each buckle still receives the same hand
craftsmanship, hand finishing and hand inspection that
went into the company's earliest products. By using the
latest tooling and manufacturing techniques, Crumrine
maintains its long-standing edge in the categories of
engraving depth, detail, luster of finish and overall
merchandise selection. More than ever, Crumrine
products are synonymous with the word "keepsake".
Throughout its 67+ year history, the
company has successfully maintained several important
operating philosophies. The most notable of these is the
company's continued use of the finest quality
manufacturing materials available - without compromise.
In addition, Crumrine is committed to the type of
professional customer service that ensures real
accountability. Crumrine also continues to focus its new
product development efforts on creating original styles
and designs, with the promise of meeting the latest
fashion trends. Last but certainly not least, is
