Так, для справочки:
Karl Kochmann in his 1977 book "Clock Making in Europe German-Austrian-Swiss-French Trademarks" states, "Founded in 1864 in St. Georgen Black Forest. Tobias Baeurle born 1841, died 1914. Partner Christian Muller short term association. Then started with one apprentice. Production of clocks in the Black Forest style, wooden plates and wooden handpainted face-Schotten-uhren. Around 1875 changed to clocks with metal plates. 25 employees, several patents, between 1890-1900. Year 1888 80 employees, later 100. Trademark registered 1897. World industrial exhibition Paris 1900, start of international marketing. Special ship-clocks, precision timing devices for the industrie for gas-water and other technical applications." Apparently the company still exhists despite the fact that much of its machinery was "removed" after the WWII.I am not certain of the exact spelling of the last name as Kochman spells it two ways as above. One spelling has the "u" before the "e". The other has them reversed. David "owen.or"
Хочу обратить внимание, что немецкая система регистрации товарных знаков до 1894 года очень неточна и расплывчата. Т.е. в 1897 году скорее всего была не первичная, а "перерегистрация". Первые упоминания по использованию "оленя" Bauerle встречаются с 1892, но могли быть и раньше, тем более вариантов этого знака было несколько. Не думаю, что это 20-е. Скорее 1900-1910.
