I have not heard nor seen of either a 141 (Sohni, Heubach & Company of Oberstein), or a 142 (A.D. Schwerdt of Stuttgart). I would sure like to see some detailed pictures/scans as your time permits. . .

Hello

I have searched all the lists of EK manufacturers, and reference books and can find no mention of these two companies as makers of EKs.

[Steve campbell]

The LDO chart on the WAF forum lists them as makers.

Hi Frank,

Congrats! mm141 & 142 are pretty rare, so is any EK2 that

mmd 100+.

As far as I know, mm EK2 costs about $150~$200 nowadays.

(in a fair or event mint condition)

If you have an opportunity to score them, then get them quick!

Because the good things don't last!!!

Regards,

Bishop

Hi All:

Many dealers list their items incorrectly for example maker 142 it looks like a 142 at a quick glance but could also be a 132 without the fully formed 3. Look hard I have 2 or three examples of this maker mark. all are 132 IMO.
