Kutzscher jun." and used for the production of metalware of drawn, pressed, punched and embossed objects (moulds). \\ \\ In 1904, Kutzscher began producing moulds for chocolate and confectionery. \\ \\ 1905 acquisition of the metal mould producer, August Riecke which was a as well a maker of specialized machines for the glass industry and moulds for both glass and chocolate making.

Before that time I have found solely one can with a “K” soldered out of wire pieces to a railroad oil can (details see below) \\ \\ With numerous patents Kutzscher was at that time one of the most important glass machine manufacturers. | ||
| - | | ::: | 1938 – 1945 World War II\\ During the war FWKJ employed approximately 650 employees. The military production focused on the production of thrust nozzles for jet airplanes. Letterhead from 1939 to the right. | ||
| - | | ::: | Post war summary:\\ \\ F-W.Kutzscher jun\\ 1946 Disassembly of manufacturing operations. Small scale production of parts for farming machines, waste bins and roof windows. The lack of direct rail access created already during wartime and afterwards difficulties in the logistics of potentially interested manufactuers. The company was not immediately expropriated as in 1956 main manufacturing facilities have been rented to VEB Waschgerätewerk Schwarzenberg (former Krausswerke/ | ||
| - | | Status 2021 | The core of the main building of FW Kutzscher jun. in Schwarzenberg (Gartenstrasse 13-15) still exists. It was built between 1908 and 1914 and is protected as historic monument. \\ After more than 15 years as nearly abandoned place it was sold by the Kutzscher heirs in 2014/15 to a private investor. Supported by subsidies from the state the new owner has started to renovate the building 2017. \\ Glass manufacturing operations, with various changes in between, continued till the successor company “Glasmaschinenbau Freital GmbH” was liquidated in 2019. | <color # | ||

| - | | ::: | Advert mid 1930’s > very interesting as it contains a reference to the UK competitor Josef Kaye & Sons Ltd. The advert shows a non-pie-crust patented seamless syphon oil can and a reference to “so called Kaye’s can”. Whether it is an oil can that was copied or just added to the program needs some further research work. | {{: | ||
