Lauer History

[Rob]

I am trying to compile an article on the Weyl patterns and I am looking for references to any literature outlining the history, trading dates, products and any other info regarding Lauer, the manufacturer of various toy coins etc based in Nurnberg. It can be written in English or German. Chris?

Thanks.

I'd only google.de and google.co.uk, which I expect you've already done!

Thanks. I'd accept any reference which mentions them, even if it is only a paragraph or two.

There are three articles in Coin Monthly Dec 75, Jan 76 & Feb 76 by D.Magnay detailing various coins and there varieties, but I dont see the name weyl anywhare. There is also a letter from D E Magnay FRNS in the June 1978 issue and a reply to it in the August 1978 issue. I can scan these and email them to you if these are of any help.

I have one or two Adolph Weyl patterns and several Lauer play coins all 1887. Weyl is not so hard to get a brief history for try http://www.rpcoins.co.uk/c14.html and if you can talk with Rob Pearce, I hope you are not the same Rob, he is also working on an article concerning the provenances of all Weyl coin patterns. What Weyl patterns do you have please? Anything of 1887 would be of particular interest. Andrew

Sadly, I fear I am the same Rob that met the same Andrew earlier this year.
