G. L. Gaiser

image by Jorge Candeias, 1 Jan 2005

The flag is white with a red border all around and black initials along the center, reading "GLG". And the caption seems to be "G. L. Gaiser".
Jorge Candeias, 1 Jan 2005

It must have been a firm engaged in trading with Nigeria, founded around 1850 and still active in the 1960'ies... according to a few faint traces on the internet...

H.M.Gehrckens

image by Jorge Candeias, 4 May 2004

Well, H. M. G. are, for certain, the initials of this company - not only do they appear in the flag (a blue cloth with these initials in it), but they are also the only recognizable portion of the caption. There's something written beyond the "G", but what it is I have no idea whatsoever.

That is H.M.Gehrckens, Hamburg. Source: Wolter, "See und Seefahrt", 1968.

Gerhard & Hey

image by Jarig Bakker, 28 Jan 2005

This one is a red flag with the initials "G&M", in white, along the centre. The caption is more or less readable: "Gerhart" is pretty clear and the rest seems to be "& Mry.", probably an abbreviation of some sort..

Also in the 1912 Lloyds as No. 729: i.e. Gerhard & Hey, Hamburg.

Paul Günther

image by Jorge Candeias, 30 Dec 2004

The flag is white with a wide blue border all around. In the center of the white part, a blue 5-pointed star is sided by two initials, also blue: P to the left and G to the right. The caption seems to be composed of two words and the first is almost certainly "Paul". The second, though, is not legible. I guess"Gantter".
Jorge Candeias, 30 Dec 2004

It's Paul Günther Schiffsmakler GmbH & Co. KG, see company homepage: a shipping agent/broker, over a century old!
