Hansen ek1 differences/opinions please

[Mike Kenny]

My Hansen Hoard example - sorry for the off-kilter reverse scan...

....1) someone has matched a Hansen screwback device to an 800 marked cross.... or (2) Hansen have outsourced some crosses from another (probably Berlin) maker

I totally agree with Mike.... either of these scenarios are likely - and in fact probable.

Hanson was a jeweller - I don't beleive they ventured into manufacturing.

These rather unique screwback disks are most often seen marked with the Hanson name - but they do exist without any maker mark at all indicating that - like the core of the first example - they are probably a generic product too. Hanson merely chose to mark theirs.

For example... looking at the screwpost of the first example posted by Fdodge, I see no reason why a Hanson marked screwdisk wouldn't fit equally as well on the back of my Meybauer (which currently has the cruciform screwplate and DRGM marked nut)

Either way, a couple of nice pieces Fdodge

My bad --------I live in Northern Wisconsin and work in Minnesota.
I am surrounded by Hansons, Olsons, Johnsons

Oh sure, you betcha Greg.

Marshall, I think you're right, these are jeweler enhanced (?) to wear more easily.

I have been wanting to add a Hanson to my collection for some time and
here you have 2 of them. You must live right.

Greg,as far as the way I live, my wife disagrees.
I appreciate the input and photos you all have posted. I've learned a lot here.
And as far as having two, My wife has a pair , why shouldn't I?
Best regards,
