Allen B. Jacobs, who had previously run other record labels, started Tikva Records around 1947 as a budget label; he recorded the albums cheaply, designed the covers and mixed the music himself.
For the next 30 years, it would record an eclectic range of Jewish-American songs, including klezmer pop, cantorial singing, Catskills medleys, and Israeli folk tunes.
The eventual end of Tikva Records is poorly documented. A member of the Idelsohn Society for Musical Preservation who researched its history said he believes the original masters and records were all destroyed after a shady deal by Jacobs.[
