MARKS - HALLMARKS - HISTORY

Charles Leopold Maas was active in London from 1883 at 13 Jewin Crescent, EC as manufacturer and importer of smokers' pipes of various types, including "recherché" and "meerschaum".
The firm entered various silver hallmarks as pipes were often silver-mounted as were manufactured in precious metal many of its smokers' accessories and walking sticks.
In 1890 (London) and 1910 (Chester) Charles Maas entered a conjoined hallmark with Marcus Maas (manager).
In 1910 the firm removed to 1A Aldermanbury Avenue. Interesting to note that from 1891 the firm used a hallmark "CM surmounted by a crown" to characterize its "Unsurpassed quality Corona Mounts". The punches with the crown were cancelled on request of Charles Maas having the Sheffield Assay Office written on 28 February 1896 that the crown represents their hallmark and is objectionable.
The firm was converted into a limited liability company in c. 1915.
