Paul A. Henckels Toothpicks

[Pen & Toothpick]

I have a few Paul A. Henckels Celluloid Toothpicks...they look real nice....although I would say the workmanship is not top notch. They sure look nice though.

Does anyone know what the relationship between Paul and J.A. Henckels? The best I can come up with is that Paul made sewing equipement in Solingen! Seems you need to read German to find out more.

These knives were made in the 1990's in runs of 24...in 3 " and 4 1/4 ".

paul a. henkels is not related to j.a. henckels. different spelling. both solingen cuttlers.

Both are Spelled HENCKELS..........for Paul it is right on his Certificate of Authenticity.

"The only information we could locate on the maker was that he was born in 1885 and died in 1967."

I have seen the name, but I'm afraid I have no info on a possible connection between Paul A Henckels and J. A. Henckels.

Paul A. Henckels Nachf. is still in existence in Solingen.

Thank you Froggy, and yes that is one of them.

my books evidently have the spelling wrong. no connection between them so far.
