Importer mark used from around 1885 by Leonard, then Bawo & Dotter followed by Charles L. Dwenger and finally Paul A. Straub.

Paul A. Straub & Company, Inc. (1915 until 1970)
Paul A. Straub founded his company in the year 1915 and at first concentrated on importing items manufactured at the Gräflich Thun'sche Porzellanfabrik Klösterle (in English often simply named Count Thun factory) from the town of Klösterle in the Austrian part of Bohemia (today Klášterec, Czech Republic). All of these items were from one large item family supposed to be like the porcelain originally produced at the former Royal Porcelain Factory in Vienna and the mark used on these items was actually a dedicated export mark owned by the Gräflich Thun'sche Porzellanfabrik Klösterle and had previously been used on items handled by three New York importers: PH Leonard had been the first until his bankruptcy in 1898. He was succeeded by Bawo & Dotter who took his place for a short time before being replaced by Charles L. Dwenger, followed by Straub around 1915. See less
