Thread: Swaty provenance

Just a short note. I was trying to understand something more about Swaty provenance, starting from what you can read on the hone: sometime Austria, sometime Yugoslavia. I think that this doesn't reflect different origins for different hones, but just different names for the same place in different periods (decades). In 1879 Franz Swaty opened his factory in Slovenia, at that time part of the Empire of Austria (1870 map) and later part of Yugoslavia (from 1918).
