Anton Wingen Jr., Solingen 1888- ? Brand name: 'Othello'. Open-blade razor and razor-blade maker.

Anton Wingen Jr., Solingen.
The company was closed in about 1988.
As far as I know, Anton Wingen Jr. produced cutlery, knives and razors. Another of the Solingen-based cutlery manufacturers, the Wingen firm was formed in 1888 to produce table flatware, knives, scissors and razors.
Registered 11th November 1901, Solingen, Gasstrasse 54.
A.Wingen made many contract knives for American companies.
Wingen, whose premises in Solingen's Gasstrasse are shared with Wilhelm Clauberg AG, have common ownership with the Clauberg firm although both companies operate on independent bases.
In 1920s, Wingen became the owner of Wilhelm Clauberg AG.
From unproved sources, the company was closed in 1988.
The tradenames OTHELLO and ROT PUNKT saw use on commercial wares.
I'm not sure what his part in the 'utica knife company' was, he was either part of the company or sold his trademark of the 'red-point' to them. You'll find some labelled Anton Wingen Jr. and some red-points labeled as Utica, the Wingens being the earlier models.
Why was this member banned? Is the info provided here incorrect?
Unlikely that they would ban him for bad information and leave the bad information there. I would venture a guess that those are not related.
