Thanks Bahner, maybe they had a tragic end in WWII, I know there is an oven producer/factory called Memmert in Germany, maybe they are somehow related, I'm not sure if this company is in Berlin, I'll try sending them an email, it seams they are a 75 year old company. They started business around the...

One question that comes to mind is, does the J. Memmert Factory still exist? is it possible to know it's history? were they incorporated by someone else? I know there were 2 world wars since then and Germany and Berlin were destroyed , is it possible to find their present address?

Thanks

It helps, but still got no clue about the mark, the only thing I know for sure is that it is European and 19th Century... I guess the 833 means the purity and the M may hold the key to the where, when and who... I was thinking it was French, but it could be Spanish or Portuguese, since my grand fath...
