Conjoined EK Stickpins

[Nigel N]

Hi Guys!
I am working on a theory as to who the maker of this style of stickpin was..............


This theory, if correct, could also provide us with the maker of various other unknown pieces, including mini's and EK Spange!!
So, if any of you have any stickpins, or photo's of stickpins that have the conjoined style of EK's on them, please post them here!!
Thanks

Hi Patryk!!
Yes, I am thinking Deumer, do you have any evidence for that, or any info that may be helpful!!
@Andrew....thanks for the photo's!!!

Hi Nigel,

What are you basing this on? Is it the hardware or the style of the miniatures, esp. the CCC?

Regards,

Hi Rudy...
Well, early days yet, but...............
Of all the conjoined EK stickpins I've seen, non so far have the S&L "0" mark, and they are so different from S&L pieces, I think we can rule them out!
All the EK's have the same glossy paint, with a pebbled finish, this matches the painted EK on the "unknown" maker spange, which we have seen and guessed may well be by Deumer!
The quality, early production date and scarcity of both the Spangen and conjoined stickpins also point to Deumer as the most likely maker.
Then, as you pointed out, some of the mini's do match the full size Deumer's, the CCC being a good example!!
So...its looking like Deumer is a strong possibility, I have an EK1 spange of this type on its way, I hope to know more after examining it!!

My personal opinion is Deumer,
but it is only a feeling, because they are much rarer than the "normal" miniatures and they have mostly a great quality and the most looks early.

And that counts for a lot I reckon!!
Thanks for your thoughts Matthias!!

Just going back to this thread........
After having looked at dozens of examples of stickpins of all types, I now think that all the ones that have a bar behind the mini's, that they are actually soldered to are Deumers............

The S&L type, often with the "O" mark on the reverses, only have the mini's soldered to each other at the sides with no supporting bar!

[Nigel N]

We have already noted, how many of the mimi devices on these bars look like Deumers, the CCC's being a good example.....
Well, Deumer used a unique type of thick shiny grey paint on their Ost medals, this paint is also found on the "bar" constructed stickpins that have Ost's on them.....
Compare mini...........
