[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 466378, member: 2844"]Very nice, ginger. Two very traditional motifs, the man with his dog and the woman with her parrot (that is what the bird is supposed to be). The parrot, like the speculaas spices, came from the Dutch East Indies. Many Dutch speculaas molds look like this.:) I have never seen that either, and can't find any info on it. Yes, it is listed on a site about Jewish Amsterdam, they mention the date 1909. The surname is quite common for both Jewish and non-Jewish families here, although it is usually spelt Simons. Siemons was a shop selling metalware, bakery goods, shop inventories, but also kitchen utensils, pots, pans, etc. So the mark is a shop mark, rather than a maker's mark. Given the metalware thing, could the molds be metal with a ceramic coating? Maybe an innovative thing that didn't catch on? Here is their ad for non-flaking, poison free enamel pans. Moreover, they sold complete fine quality kitchen sets for reasonable prices! [ATTACH=full]159305[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.joodsamsterdam.nl/utrechtsestraat/[/URL][/QUOTE]
