I have a book marking the Hohner Century in 1957 it is in German. There is
an entry which may be of interest.

........1935 ..Ubernahme von Maschinenfabrik Johs. Koch, Trossingen ...

There is an umlaut (sp?) over the initial U.

I think, and am most likely wrong, that I saw the Koch name in the 50s, they
might have continued making under the old name. Anyone know for certain???
