The oldest enterprise Solingen, is based in 1731.

Trade marks: тройняшки (1895 7116); twins between two trees (1895 7125); a separate figure (1895 7130); «четверняшки» — four twins (1895 7131); a separate figure with a halberd (1895 7135); various variations of twins (1895 7175, 1898 28914, 1904 71482); J.A.HENCKELS above word SOLINGEN near to twins (1898 32620); J A HENCKELS, written on an arch above word SOLINGEN also written on an arch, in the center between words twins (1898 32621).

I hope this helps.

Thank you very much!

Looks like I was in the ballpark.
