c1950 until at least 1997...maybe still going. It was apparently a wholesale brand, not particularly collectible....according to Mr. Levine. This one is obviously from Germany.
Best I've got.
Bill"From this and what I am seeing in various articles and sales, I would guess 60's to early or mid 70's. Obviously not stainless (rostfrei) so it is a decent steel.
