Lightbulb and..

If you like, go to that town and see if that shop or person paid taxes under that name. In 1951, they were paying. The books I have are old and came out in the 1960's at the latest. If it was a new factory, it might not have made the books. But, Hofner, Framus and Wilfer were in business then in the same area so who made what for who? Who knows. Still, the name itself looks suspicious and the label is mixed German and English. A few years after the war the Germans printing English on labels? Only in the export business.
