[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 466317, member: 136"]Ginger, I, too, am curious about why these are ceramic and not wood. At this point, I truly wish I spoke Dutch, as just about everything I could find is in that language, and the translations to English make little sense to me. (That said: [B]can you help [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] ???[/B] ) I found a [I]tiny[/I] bit of info about BW Siemons. They were located at 27 Utrechtschestraat in Amsterdam at least from about 1898 until 1913, but beyond that, I don't know. It is possible that this was a Jewish business among several others on that street, but I don't know for certain. I did find a postcard from BW Siemons, [I]said[/I] to be ca.1909, but I can't confirm that date: [ATTACH=full]159275[/ATTACH] This is the maker's mark I found for the company, shown on a [I]WOODEN[/I] mold: [ATTACH=full]159277[/ATTACH] from: [URL]https://haffmansantiek.nl/houten-speculaasplank-ca-1900.html?___store=en&___from_store=en[/URL] Is the mark on your friend's molds similar? I do wish I could help more, but that's all I've got![/QUOTE]
