Crowned 'G S C' above 'DRESDEN', with single 'GERMANY' addition on the left hand side.

Image 1207-23

Simple 'L & R' above 'GERMANY' in a circle.
Image 1009-16a
Crowned 'L R' constantly claimed to be Leube (Reichmannsdorf, Thuringia). But according to the reference books I own ...
Image 1009-16b
... this mark is *not* Leube. Can anybody offer *proof* or at least quote a source?

Image 1309-09

'ROG MAR' makes no sense, 'K.G.' could be the business form. 'PVB' and 'MARKTREDWITZ, GERMANY' is simple enough. Still, no leads.
Image 1111-15
ROYAL BLUE' above 'GERMANY', 'MEDALLION' appears to be the series name. Found on a series of (repro?) toothpic holders.

'GERMANY' above capital 'W', also found stating 'BAVARIA' instead.(Picture by Brian M. Jensen)
Image 1009-18

Image 1009-17a
Stylized 'W' above 'C-I-O'. The item was obviously ...
Image 1009-17b
... produced betweeen 1946 and 1949. But who used this mark?[ ⇒back to top ]
