Minor observation in respect to the date on the post # 60 invoice: in our longer experience with word processors and computers, it's easy to forget about the peculiarities of typewriters. The 0 was probably not overwritten, rather it is a repeating error in some fashion linked to the key-strike by the typist. You'll notice the exact same defect occurs in both places bearing the date, upper right and in the body of the invoice. The key couldn't be damaged, because the 0 comes out correctly elsewhere.

So we have J. Godet & Sohn producing the Spanish Cross with Brilliants in May-June, 1939, and Gebruder Godet producing the Ritterkreuz sometime between September, 1939 and early 1940, and the Oakleaves just a bit later.Comment

Very interesting information Marshall. I see a few things in there. I need time to process... thanks very much for posting.
You can see the effects of the looming inflation in the receipt shown from 1922 (post 67). 240 Marks for a single medal for the Mecklenburg Strelitz Dept. of State, a total of 13,200 Marks for an order of 55 pieces. Compare to the 7.50 per-piece price from 1914 (post 66), which included cases and ribbons! A different medal, sure. But a medal is a medal -- these are not enameled Orders here.Last edited by streptile; 01-29-2011, 01:38 PM.Best regards,

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the history of Godet, in all its permutations, from its founding through the end of World War II. Any information relevant to that discussion is appropriate here, as far as I'm concerned.
Kay, please try not to do too much damage to this thread. You have already posted a number of errors in different posts, which eventually someone will have to correct.Best regards,

I am not offended in the slightest degree. This discussion, now, is just getting close to the TR period, and, for now, is in the realm of the pre-1933 afficianados.
Some very good work here!Comment

Wrong. Behrenstraße and Französchischestraße were cross-streets.Originally posted by Montgomery Burns View Post
Wrong. The type is attributed to Godet because it uses Godet frames, the same core Godet used, and reverse hardware found on other decorations consistent with Godet manufacture.Originally posted by Montgomery Burns View Post
Wrong. They used this appellation before any merger or sale. It simply means, "Court Jewelers."Originally posted by Montgomery Burns View Post
Wrong. It says that Wolf Conze, the proprietor of Wilhelm Deumer has been, since 1933, also co-proprietor of Gebrüder Godet. That's a long way from Deumer owning Godet. You even got the single most important piece of information wrong: it's Gebrüder Godet, not J. Godet & Sohn.Originally posted by Montgomery Burns View PostBest regards,

so who really owned Godet in the end has to be found out still
WELL THESE ARE THINGS YOU CAN NORMAL DISCUSS ABOUT ,,
NOBODY HAS TO BE CORRECTED FORE THAT ,,,

One more find for Trevor..
From around 1918, I think the relevant information is the section at the bottom showing what appears to be two addresses... but as I have no idea what an 'ECKHAUS' is, I can't comment.
My online translator tells me an 'Eckhaus' is .....an 'Eckhaus'. So that's handy...
I will leave that to Trevor.Comment

Eckhaus means house or building on the corner. So the address in this case would be Charlotten Str. 55, the building on the corner of Jager Str.
Best,

Marshall,
I am still digesting all the documents you have posted. There is some interesting information in there, I'm sure of it.
For the time being, I will post this compilation of Godet ads from the Berlin phonebook. I have compiled not every ad, but the ads in which a change is registered (name, address, type of company e.g. AG or KG, additional information added, etc.). I think these ads are a gold mine of information.Best regards,
