Gustav M. Thurnauer established his business in New York City in 1883. He was specialized on kitchen utensils and everything else required in a kitchen, including various household items-- initially all exported from Germany. The mark "G.M.T.Co." was in use until his brother joint the business in 1887, and the mark was changed to "G.M.T. & Bro." / G.M. Thurnauer & Bro. [1887-c.1914]. Around 1914 Thurnauer Company became incorporated, and the mark was changed to "G.M.T. Co. Inc." [The company was still in business in the 1960s-early 1970s].
