Germany Poster Stamp - Dürkopp Sewing Machine

Description: [zipedit] GermanyAdvertising Poster Stamp Poster stamp advertising Dürkoppwerke Ag. in Bielefeld, which was a manufacturer of sewing machines. According to duerkopp-adler.com: 1860 - 1867 Bielefeld, mid-19th century: The industrial revolution has transformed the city into an important textile location. Sewing machines imported from the USA are mainly used to process the fabrics. They are expensive to purchase and difficult to maintain. The two locksmiths Baer and Koch recognized the opportunity and founded the first sewing machine factory in Bielefeld in 1860. The company's success showed the partners the potential of the newly developed market, so that Baer decided in 1865 to set up his own company. From then on, Koch operated under the name Koch & Co and employed two sewing machine mechanics Dürkopp and Schmidt. By 1861 Dürkopp had already designed his first sewing machine and went into business with Schmidt as Dürkopp & Schmidt in 1867. 1880 - 1900 Within 20 years, Bielefeld developed into one of the most important locations for the sewing machine industry in Germany. In 1880, 19 Bielefeld companies were active in the industry. Their products enjoyed international recognition and were sold across Europe. Due to the great national and international competition, there was a crisis in the industry in the 80s. Dürkopp & Co - as the plant was called after Schmidt left - was the first company to start manufacturing bicycles in search of new sales markets. The new product was selling very well and the company could continue on its successful course. Like other companies, Koch & Co followed Dürkopp's example, so that bicycle production soon developed into an important economic factor in the city. 1900 - 1920 Spurred on by the success, Dürkopp began producing cars, trucks and other motorized means of transport towards the end of the century. While Dürkopp was constantly striving to open up new business areas for his company, Koch & Co. concentrated on the field of industrial sewing and clothing technology. The brand name Adler became a synonym for internationally sought-after special sewing machines. This led Kochs Adlernähmaschinen Werke AG, the company’s new name, to stop the production of bicycles in 1920. 2015 - 2020 In 2015, the ShangGong Group brought together the companies Dürkopp Adler, Pfaff Industrial and KSL as the parent company. The resulting DA Group, headquartered in Bielefeld, has since been the largest European manufacturer of sewing and welding technology for the textile industry and boasts impressive growth. Dürkopp Adler has been operating as a GmbH since the end of 2020.This stamp depicts a woman using a Dürkopp sewing machine. It is from a set of 4 depicting various products manufactured by Dürkopp with designs by noted artist Siegmund von Sochodolski (1875-1935). It is listed in Charles Kiddle's "Poster Stamps - Graphic Artists - The Best of the Rest . . ." as # SU2.43 (Rarity 30). This example is F/VF, OG, NH. Approximate Image Size: 36½ x 47½ mm.

Most of my working inventory plus backup stock was sold at public auction. However, I have retained some material that I will be offering for sale. In addition, I have some "new" material that was mixed into lots I have bought for my own collections. I will be listing some of the material in my eBay store at fixed prices. I will also be offering some material at auction, either as single items or mixed lots. There will be many bargains available. There will be large and small lots, some containing similar material, some containing a random mixture, and some containing only one or a few items. The condition will be mixed, but none of the lots will be just accumulations of damaged or faulty stamps (unless specifically listed as such). Items in stockpage or larger lots may be removed and repackaged into glassines to save on shipping costs. A Note about Poster Stamps and Gum: Because many poster stamp collectors are primarily interested in the image on the stamp, the absence or presence of gum on the back is of little concern. If no mention of gum is made, then there may or may not be gum present. If you are only interested in poster stamps with original gum, please inquire before bidding. Actual condition issues (that are not apparent from the scan) WILL be described. A Note about "Stock Images": Occasionally I will have more than one example of an item in inventory. Rather than scan each one individually, I may use the same image for multiple examples of the item. If that is the case, the item supplied will be in substantially the same, or better, condition than the image. Any such items will have the words: "STOCK IMAGE" at the end of the description.
