W. & G. Schuchard "Flexa" made by Hückel Weilheim, 57 cm possibly mid 1960s. I believe this is the first for sure Hückel Weilheim Original Manufactured hat. "Flexa" is probably short for "Flexible" which is a common Hückel trademark going back to JHS. The "Saale" Form might have a been W. &...- mayserwegener

Great finds and large sizes. The Hückel was made by Hückel Weilheim and most likely from the 1960s (same as Marcel's P. & C. Habig Wien). The Mayser "Superbe" is fantastic and possibly early to mid 1950s.- mayserwegener

Possibly but as I mentioned you see English used for marketing purposes so wouldn't read much into it. Also notice the use of English "Superior Quality" so targeting English speakers. This was post WWII so many American military and also English speaking tourists in Bavaria / Munich. Here is...- mayserwegener
