Lot 71
Serie 9593. Written on but not postmarked. Paul Finkenrath moved his business to Berlin SO, Schlesische Str. 31 by 1900. Added an own dept. for deLuxe paper production. By mid or late 1901 the business was converted into a limited company. Business partners / managing directors were a Robert Schimpf and Mr. Oettinger. All three were also travelling salesmen. The PFB Bird logo (see above) is the earliest logo used. Probably already in 1901 but the earliest p/u card known yet dates from mid 1902. The more popular PFB inside two dividers logo was registered in (mid/late?) 1905. PFB (8 litho presses, 40 other machines, 180 workers in 1907) made good profits but when the exports faded, inland market cram full with overproduction cards, the company was wound up by late 1910.
