Hi Mark,

A large number of these blades were produced by the Wilkinson firm in England. Solingen of course also produced many. Derek has the export catalogue pages from Wilkinson and Julius Voos of Solingen (I think he posted these on the old forum). F.W. Holler most likely produced the "thermometer" blades and my guess is that Kroneck produced the blades with the crown mark. I think most of these blades are late 19th and early 20th century.
As you saw in the last thread the G.G. most likely stands for the German patent mark Ges. Gesch..
Derek, roanoa and of course Jimmy McD can undoubtably add more to this.

All the Best
Jeff
