Hello, looks like Jakob (sometimes spelled Jacob) Agner from Munich, Germany. Believe the company is still active. Regards, Bahner

Thanks.
I did a search on Jakob Agner. I could not find much on the internet about him or his company.

Could someone explain why the name is Jakob Agner and not a a first name beginning with the letter G? I still am not able to find information on the company.
thanks

Hi,

Perhaps the G is for; die Genossenschaft ; die Gesellschaftsfirma or partnership; trading company; corporation. Geschäft or shop/store
The monogram; AJ conjoined over G for: Jakob Agner Genossenschaft.
