Ken:

Have you seen any other Georg Lindner examples with "CFW" on the tubes? -

I think I've seen similar initials but for now I guess it to be Christian Friedrich Werner, that is if Friedrich was his middle name. I don't think the last letter "W" represents a city as it was surely sourced from Suhl/Zella Saint Blasii/Mehlis.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
