On history:

Heinrich Friedrich Gottlob Flinsch acquires Dreslersche foundry in 1859, the name “Schriftgießerei

Flinsch” is used from 1868 on. Their establishment in Petersburg (Russia) is sold to Berthold AG in 1912. The rest of the Flinsch typefoundry gets acquired by Bauersche Foundry in 1916, their production facilities were integrated in the 20ies.
