    I know this is a German company, and that most of their items are alpacca.
    But, as there's also a sneaker brand with that name, google makes it hard to find any useful info on the company... When did they start? Do they still exist?
    Based on the font, I assume these sugar nips aren't very old. Any idea how old/young these could be? (based on font and/or design)
    And some items are marked as alpacca, and others, like mine, aren't. Is it still likely that this will be alpacca? Or did they also produce silver plated items?

    Here's the polished version

    Looks like they've been around a while. Ad from a 1922 trade journal with a different product line.

    Different logo. No date on this but those are Breuer's B33 chairs which didn't go into production until 1930.
