[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4141042, member: 2844"]It is not a Henkel & Grossé mark I know, and I can't find it. I only know the 'Grosse' marks. Of course the official website doesn't show marks.:rolleyes: [URL]http://www.grosse.hk/en/history.php[/URL] Jakob Bengel had his own factory, in Idar Oberstein. Presumably all his jewellery was made there. Part of the Jakob Bengel factory, it is now an industrial monument and museum: [IMG]https://i1.wp.com/sheryls-artdeco.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Denkma4-1.jpg?resize=480%2C338[/IMG] [URL]https://sheryls-artdeco.com/product-category/jewellery/bengel/history/[/URL] Henkel & Grossé had a factory in Pforzheim.

Henkel & Grossé is also an excellent brand btw.[/QUOTE]
