a information from a friend:

Shown is here the little version of Hamburg' warden mark ,A' - of the period 19 April 1828 - 30 August 1851 - Warden: Jacob Nicolaus Wilhelm Schäffer.

The case was made in the workshop of the concession-holder '46' (lozenge mark with '46'). Concession-holders were gold- and/or silversmiths which haven't had an own master-workshop; both were limited in Hamburg. A concession-holder wasn't permitted the direct production or sale to the public. They were a kind of subcontractors. Theirs production was sale only via registered master-workshop; in this case via Hinrich Diederich Schmeckpeper.

Concession-holder '46' was NICOLAUS HINRICH WOHLERS. His concession he has got on 29 August 1831, it seems to have got them first as a Goldsmith. From 1835 until 1844 he is noticed as a concession workshop with two to three additional journeymen. He is born on 12 May 1801 in Billwärder, a rural northern area of Hamburg Township [since 1395]. N.H. Wohlers got citizenship of Hamburg on 11 May 1832 as a Gold- and Silversmith. After the decease of the Hamburg Gold- and Silversmith' Guild he became in 1865 member of their new founded Corporation. He is in 1869 noticed in the towns Address guide.
