J.H.Werner brochure

[GdC26]

Just in. I hope those interested in phaleristics find it useful even if the orders shown are not lifelike photographs but either paintings or repainted photos.

Scanning the catalogue I couldn't find a publication date, but based on the inclusion of the Südwestafrika-Denkmünze I'd place that between 1907 and 1914.

The text on the opening page could be read to suggest that the booklet was issued on the occasion of the opening of J.H. Werner's shop at Friedrichstraße 173 in Berlin, but the venerable Sauerwald (Königlich Preussische Ordensjuweliere, page 145), seems to suggest that J.H. Werner operated shops at both Under den Linden and Friedrichstraße from 1891 onwards.

For Comparisons a rather low-key period news advertisement for the company dated 17, October 1907, Berliner und Handles-Zeitung, page 14.

That is a nice one, too. It shows that hte shop at Friedrichstraße is in fact hte main one, and that the Under den Linden shop is merely a branch (Zweig-Geschäft). To me, that is a valuable piece of information I hadn't seen before.

 

Here is a picture of Friedrichstraße store front, borrowed from the web.
