KOLB, Alphonse Anton (1893-1983) German-American
engraver, medalist. Born Heidelburg, Germany,
5 December 1893. Came to America 1913, naturalized
U.S. citizen 1918. As staff engraver and sculptor for
Bastian Brothers, Rochester, New York (ca1921-1958),
he created plaques, medals and buttons. His 1928 tablet is
on Rochester's City Hall, a 1932 plaque at the University of
Rochester.
Kolb joined the Rochester Numismatic Association and,
in 1921, began creating the obverse portrait dies of their
Presidential Medal series, which he continued for over
half a century, until 1977, creating 56 such medals.
He was elected to the organization's presidency in 1931,
when he created his own self-portrait medal. His reverse
design of this medal series, which he created in 1852,
continues into the 21st century. He also was a life member
of the American Numismatic Association (#228, regular
#2528, joined June 1923).
He was married twice and outlived both wives, creating
bronze reliefs for their tombstones; his first wife's shows
a scene full of life, 1945, his second in sorrow, as she died
from an automobile accident, 1968. Kolb, who had retired
from active engraving to travel in 1958, returned to
engraving after death of his second wife.
Died Rochester, New York, 30 March 1983.
