Godet

I also note that on the piece of stationary posted by Marshall above and earlier, the company is called "German Jewelers Sy & Wagner J.H. Werner Janus & Friedrich, Ltd." and that the "Abteilung" or specific division of them company is called Godet-Werner.

I think this enhances our understanding of the structure.

WELL THESE ARE THINGS YOU CAN NORMAL DISCUSS ABOUT ,,
NOBODY HAS TO BE CORRECTED FORE THAT ,,,

You're right, Kay -- I apologize for my abrupt tone, and I thank you for your continued help in this thread.

[Don D.]

I think this is a great discussion with some interesting findings and thank everyone for it. I just wish I had something to add to it.

Thanks, Don.

That's how I feel about the Machinegunner's Sharpshooter Badge thread .

Looking again at Marshall's invoice with the double-struck date, is that conceivably a "6" (that is, 1936) replacing a "0," as opposed to a "0" replacing something else? I don't think it was double-struck with a "4" after all, as there is no base leg showing.

Just a thought--The late 1929 date makes sense as by that time the
world was in a depression. The Wall street stock market crash of October
1929 was a world wide event and Germany was already hurting before that.

.... Marshall! Amazing finds. Where are you coming up with this stuff?....

I have more..

But it will have to wait a day or so.

Here we go... pre-dating the previous newspaper article by 2 months, there is plenty of mention of the firm H J Wilm in conjunction with this newly evolving Berlin coallition.

Could one of our Dutch friends fluent in both English and Dutch do a good accurate translation for me?

Kay (Montgomery Burns) - by all means give it a try but I sometimes find your written English a little hard to comprehend. Please don't be offended. You speak much better English than I do German!!

Thanks to all - I'm not sure I have much more to add now, but will keep digging.

Hey Marshall,

I haven't looked at this piece yet, but, interestingly, when I used to hear about Godet being sold "to someone," WILM was the name usually mentioned as the buyer. A Mod of SDA (who also posts here sometimes) contacted WILM recently, and the current owner said he had no information about a merger with Godet at any time in the past, but that it could have happened. He also invited him to browse WILM's archives if he was ever in town.

Now, I'll try to ask Ben to help on this translation

I can read enough Dutch to see that this piece will basically lay the story of "Berlin Jewelers, Ltd." out for us very nicely.

This is what Nimmergut suggested too I think...

GODET & SOHN
1886 tritt Eugene Godet in d. Firma ein, 1911 Kgl. Hof- u.
Ordensjuwelier. Er firmiert GEBR. GODET & Co. oder GODET
& Co, 1924 kurzfristig EUGENE GADET & SOHN.

1926 erfolgte d. Verkauf an d. Fa. F.R. Wilm

There was later three companies:

1. J. Godet & Sohn KG
2. Gebr Godet & Co.
3. Godet & Co.

No. 1 is by converting the J. Godet & Sohn AG and was formed from the 25.6.1937 in the commercial register.

No. 2 is of the jewelers Eugene Godet, Jean Godet and the banker Oscar Mathesius formed in 1930 as a partnership and was registered on 25.10.1930 in the commercial register. Since 1933, the owner of the company Wilhelm Deumer, Wolf Conze, co-owner of the company with effect from 5.6.1958 resolved. Last Seat Berlin, Tempelhofer Damm 127. Business and company have been transferred by inheritance of Dora Godet born Holst.

The samples, tools, stamps, records and archives of the house Godet lost during and after the war.

In 1964 the company "Die Ordenssammlung" took over (Owner Anneliese Klietmann) Godet. (purchased)

According to a note placed in the 60 years the company Juncker made for Godet (Die Ordenssammlung) eg Luisen-Order and several House Order of Hohenzollern for the general administration of the Prussian House.

Noone was able to provide a translation of the Dutch newspaper article mentioning the Wilm firm for us?

I would like to know what the Dutch perceived Wilm's involvement to be at the time, even if it subsequently turned out to be unfounded.

Hey Marshall,

I am working on trying to get a translation.

Eagle (Red),

Thanks for that interesting post. It's a great summary and sure adds a lot to our understanding.
