German Perfin Catalog

Thanks Postmaster.
Adds some nice flavour to my German Albums (5 pages of PERFINS )

GF = Gustav Foch Bookseller Leipzig

Topic ID was #86788
There does not seem an option to search Topic numbers on SCF
"Gustav foch" and nigelc search failed .

Rod,

Here's the post. You were searching for "Foch", but the text was "Fock".

That perfin is Gustav Fock, a book dealer in Leipzig, 1892-1905.

Those are some good looking pages, Rod.

Also, if you need to search a topic id in the future, you can go to Google and search like this:

Brilliant. Thanks PM.

Foch / Fock

Greetings to all! Some good album page ideas!
I have a few that could be interesting. This one is G.v St.
Thank you PostmasterGS.

The G.v.St. perfin is Gebr. von Streit (von Streit Brothers), a glass factory, Berlin, 1913-1931.

Cool, a glass factory!

This next perfin is DB over R, or DBR, out of 41 holes punched, only 15 are open,
with 26 being what Rod called "blind punctures".
Thanks PostmasterGS!

Unknown user in Rathenow, 1933-1942.

There's a similar perfin that's 12/15/13 holes instead of 12/15/14, and one of its users was Deutsche Bank in Ratibor. It's possible the unknown user of yours was Deutsche Bank in Rathenow, but it's blank in the catalog for a reason.

Here are a few I've had over 60+ years,looked at them
perhaps a couple of times since, wondered for maybe a
couple of seconds which companies the perfs stood for
and then put them back again.

Looks like none of these businesses survived the war
years.

Not necessarily. Those dates are merely the dates for which the usage of those perfins is known.

Hello from a newbie in England! I took these in as a swap and have become fascinated by the whole perfin thing - really nice historical connections. I have tried searching, but no joy. Any ideas?
Cheers! :-)
