Who was Meister no. 194 ?

[cracks]

In a guitar for sale there is a label with the following text :

Musikinstrumenten- Genossenschaft
Markneukirchen / SA
Handwerkmeister Vereinigung
Oe . 11. 04. 48
Meister 194 and then an unreadable signature.


Anyone here who knows who that meister was ?

Best regards

Hi Kield,

first, this is the old MIGMA Label from the 40th! The 194 means not the number of the worker. You could fill one number and show the year the guitar was made. Example: When the guitar was made 1948 you write an 8 at the end. So the guitar was made between 1945 and 1949!

I have lists of Migma members but not from the early after war years only from the 60th. Maby I could find a right name in the Museums database. In my opinion something with a "P" at the beginning and "g" at the end. Be so kind and send the highest resolution picture to info@schlaggitarren.de Regards, STELOL

Was dem Schriftzug am nächsten kommt wäre Pöllmann!
Walter Pöllmann aus Erlbach. Leider komme ich momentan nicht in die Datenbank um weiter zu recherchieren!

Thanks stelol.

Illsend You the pics right away. 1949 makes sense . the label is printed in 1948 I think.

I read the first letters as Pauxxxx.

[STELOL]

Pöllmann is the only one from the Migma list who fits!

[STELOL]

Ok, I guess thats it!

thank You very much !

The guitar can be seen here :

It has some very caracteristic features, which might be helpful for identification of other Pöllmanns.
