wanted: pictures from Paulmann & Crone EK II sets

[grueni1208]

If you have an EK II packet by Paulmann & Crone with an EK II, please send pictures in this thread. I believe this maker produced EK II's only without maker's mark and some pictures from Paulmann & Crone sets are good to find distinctive features of this EK II's.
It could be that not all EK II's with this packets are by Paulmann & Crone therefore it's better to have so many EK II's as possible.

I have only an EK II packet by P&C.

Wenn ihr eine EK II Tüte von Paulmann und Crone habt, bei der ein EK II dazu war, dann stellt mal bitte Bilder von dem Set ein. Da ich vermute, dass dieser Hersteller seine EK II's nicht punziert hat, könnte man eventuell über diesen Weg, wenn genug Sets zusammen kommen, eine Herstellerbestimmung bzw. -erkennung machen.

Ich habe leider nur eine einzelne Tüte davon.

Grueni,

I have two Paulmann & Crone EKII sets that absolutely came from vet's estates. They are both packeted in their original packets, and both crosses are indentical, and both unmarked...

reverse of 1st cross...

Sorry for my unorganized photos. I have one cross in a frame with the grouping it came with, and the 2nd cross I just have not photographed myself yet. If you would need more just let me know. I know there crosses are original P&C's in their original packets - both really came from vets, most assuredly.

Here are two more shots of the second cross. One thing inparticular about the cores on these two Paulmann & Crones, the swastikas both have a thin raised 'center line' right down the center of the swastika's arms. It's on both crosses, and to me is really significant, since I have never seen it on any other EK core by any maker.

Both crosses have small dia. ribbon rings, one is soldered closed, one is open.

Hello Robert,

thanks for showing. Two examples are a good clue.

My problem is that the packets by Paulmann & Crone are very rare, therefore I think the EK II's by Paulmann & Crone must be very rare, too. But this type of EK II aren't rare. They are with magnetic or non-magnetic core. Most non-magnetic EK II's are from this type.

I saw another P&C set in the e-stand section with a rare EK II.

It's only my theorie, therefore I need the pictures.

I've seen one more EKII like mine for sale on the Collector's Guild months ago. Rare, yes. Yet, I have seen others (maybe two or three more) offered for display on the forum, without packets. Both of mine are magnetic.

Packets are rare too. This packet on the e-stand is the only other packet by P&C that I have ever seen outside of mine.

Good luck,
Robert

Hello Robert,

I believe you are right, because I saw another P&C set with the same EK II typus. I think 4 examples are a good argument.

Good to heaqr. I know my two examples are purely vet-acquired.
