Comment
Reprinted from http://www.mernick.org.uk/bexley/article3.htm :
Damianus and Hans Krauwinckel were brothers. Egidius and Hanns II were the sons of Damianus, and for a time they produced jetons together. The jetons of Hanns Krauwinckel II are the most common found. Hanns' sister, Barbara, married Georg Lauffer and, at the death of Hanns, the family concern (business) was taken over by the Lauffer family.
