ÜÜ - puzzle solved

[Dietrich Maerz]

Here's a link to a German forum in which the member BassD explains why the sign of "ÜÜ" is the company logo of E.Ferd. Wiedmann/Frankfurt.

Another mistery solved.

It is interesting to see that the five little prongs are actually representing the letters "E. FERD".

Bob,

as much as I would appreciate this BUT this research was NOT DONE BY ME at all. It was done by our member here "BassD" (Bastian) who asked me to post this information since his english is not very good.

Way to go BassD. Great detective work. Perhaps you can share the story of how you did it with us.

Hello,



It had nothing to do with a "U" and isn't a Vienna maker at all.

Glad to know and great job!

I already read it on an other forum, but still, this is a such an amazing find! Always thought we were on the right track when saying there were actually five makers who worked together.
