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.

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.

Hi breezesonny,
the company is actually called Jacob Agner in Munich, founded 1863 and still working. You will find it under http://www.jacob-agner.de where you have the possibility to ask your question.
