About D.R.G.M. 789583:The number sequence can provide a very rough estimate of age. Registrations were numbered sequentially. While there\'s no perfect public chart, collectors have established general guidelines through cross-referencing objects with known dates.
Low numbers (e.g., 1 - 100,000) generally fall in the earliest years (1890s - early 1900s).
Mid-range numbers (e.g., 500,000 - 800,000) are typically from the 1910s-1920s.
Higher numbers (into the millions) are often from the 1930s up to 1945.
Based on this, registration number 789,583 likely dates from the 1920s. This fits perfectly with the style of these items, which were very common in the interwar period (1918-1939).
Translation and Meaning:Deutsches Reich: German Empire
Gebrauchsmuster: Utility Model (a legally protected design registration)
A common and accurate English translation is \"Registered German Design\" or \"Patent Registered in the German Empire.\"
It is not a full patent (Patent), but rather a form of legal protection for the design or utility model of an object, its unique functional shape, pattern, or construction. It was cheaper and faster to obtain than a full patent and was incredibly common on German industrial and household goods.
Date Range:The term \"Deutsches Reich\" points to a specific era in German history. The D.R.G.M. marking was used from 1891 until 1945.
Its use began under the German Empire (Kaiserreich).
It continued through the Weimar Republic (1919-1933).
It was also used during the Third Reich (Nazi Germany) period until the end of World War II.
After 1945 and the fall of the Reich, the marking was discontinued and replaced by new systems in East (DDR) and West (BRD) Germany.
