For those interested in german pencil history, hobby researchers, anyone who likes old trademark styles….
If you tell me:
- Search request (as a word, or as a regex)
- Time interval in years (currently up to 1950-1980)
Then I will send you a pdf of all occurences of the word(s), as long as it stays below a few hundred hits.
You will get the pages the word is on as well as the last and next page for each (unless you dont want that), so nothing is cut off.
So far it’s 42GB, 1600 files, with over 200.000 pages to search through
I don’t have a server so im offering to enter it manually for anyone
Example of the catalog in general:
What you can use it for:
- Find old pictures of trademarks, neatly collected as a single pdf
- Find obscure manufacturers or sellers you couldn’t have found by name / find out which manufacturer is behind a certain product line name
- Find pencil brands only from a specific city etc.

At https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/blattdownload/marken you can view and download catalogs of trademarks for each year, but only one at a time. It’s very time-consuming.
