<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 11451092, member: 1476&quot;]Thank you, [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER], for catching the name change.&nbsp; This is helpful.&nbsp; From the internet:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Hoka is the abbreviation for the German manufacturer Hohmann &amp; Katz AG in Pforzheim, Germany.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>The company has its roots in a company, Emil Becker, which manufactured gold and silver chains and Hohmann joined as a partner in 1908. The range was expanded to include other metal products in 1920 and the following year the company was called Hohmann &amp; Kauderer AG. Restaurant silver and silver-plated gift items under the name HOKA made the company world famous. In the years up to 1941, there were many changes of ownership and mergers, but the company name that is most familiar today, Hohmann &amp; Katz AG, was registered in 1941 and the company was active until June 1990.&quot;</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>The second ad is of a trade show booth and, given name change, can&#039;t be earlier than 1941.&nbsp; (Not that it matters for our purposes.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
