HANSEATISCHE SILBERWARENFABRIK - (Hanseatische Silberwarenfabrik, Brinckmann, Lange and Co.)

Bremen







Member Bahner wrote:

The "Hanseatische Silberwarenfabrk" was actually called "Hanseatische Silberwarenfabrik, Brinckmann, Lange and Co" (in short: HSF) and was founded by said two Bremen jewellers Brinckmann and Lange. Is seems that Wilkens through its subsidiary BSF helped finance the company. The HSF was registered in early 1925 but production of flatware did not start until October 1926, when construction of the production facilities was finished. Between 1930 and 1933 the HSF cooperated with Wilhelm Binder and had its name changed to Hanseaten-Binder. In 1933 the name was changed again to "Hanseatische Silberwarenfabrik GmbH". The mark all the time was "HS" ligated. Finally the HSF was fully absorbed into Wilkens. Currently it is unclear when this happened. Some say in 1937, other say in the 1960ies.

KARL THOMAS

Munich


The Burglary at Munich.—Frank Bailey, alias Frank Buck, and William Davis, alias Billy Porter, were brought up on remand last month at Bow Street, under the Extradition Acts, charged with breaking into the shop of Mr. Thomas, jeweller, at Munich, and stealing therefrom money and property to the value of 96,000 marks.—Mr. Besley appeared for Davis, Mr. Gill for Bailey, and Mr. Mead supported the application for the extradition of the prisoners—Mr. Besley called James Collins, the uncle of Davis, to prove that the marriage of the parents of the prisoner took place in Cork. The object of this was to show that Davis was of British nationality, the contention of the prosecution being that both prisoners were Americans. If Davis is a British subject, by the treaty obligations Sir James Ingham has no power to surrender him to the German authorities. Both prisoners were remanded.

In reference to the above case, Chief Inspector Neame, was summoned before Mr. Vaughan to show cause why certain jewellery, value £150, should not be delivered up to Karl Thomas, jeweller, of Munich. Mr. Goldberg appeared for the complainant. Since an order for the extradition of the prisoners was made by Sir James Ingham, the prisoner Porter has appealed to the Court of Queen's Bench, and obtained his release, on the ground that, having been born at sea, on an English vessel, he was an English subject, and as such could not be delivered up to the German Government for trial in that country. The appeal was successful, and Porter is now at liberty. The property in question was found by Sergeant Froest and Sergeant Leach, of Scotland Yard, in the prisoner's possession. It consisted of manufactured jewellery, which was being worn by the prisoner's wife, and rough diamonds, which were found loose in the prisoner's hat-box.—Mr. Apps, who appeared for the prisoner, did not object to giving up certain articles sworn to by Sergeant Leach as being part of the proceeds of the burglary, but he did as regarded other articles of jewellery found in the prisoner's possession.—Mr. Vaughan ordered the property sworn to as part of the proceeds of the burglary to be given up to the prosecutor.

IMPROVED TABLE KNIVES

The knife shown in the cut is believed by the manufacturers to represent such a marked advance in the methods of manufacture of these articles as to cause a revolution in the cutlery trade. This knife is made without a crop, and the method has been patented in practically all countries.



As will be noticed in the cut, the blades are fixed by means of two wedges forced into a turned steel socket, the upper part of which is formed as a crop to balance the knife. This turned steel socket is soldered in the hollow handle of the knife, which may consist of steel, German silver or any other metal. The illustration shows very plainly the different parts. They are: the blades 'a', the turned steel socket 'b' and the wedges 'c', and the handle. One of the great advantages of this knife, the manufacturers state, is that it is absolutely free from edges and corners and therefore can be kept clean at all times. The prime feature of the blade is that it is absolutely unmovable in the handle, while the blades made in the old fashion are fastened into the handles by the means of some kind of cement which becomes loose in hot water. The name of the patent holders of this process of knife manufacture is: The Patent-Besteck-Werke G.m.b.H., Berlin,. Germany, and the United States representative of this firm, is Charles Goethe, 1184 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.

The originals were supposed to have belonged to a Roman general, and to have been buried by him when the invasion of Germany took place. The German government paid $200,000 for the originals that were found a few years earlier, and placed them in the Berlin Museum.
