GERMANY - Gebr. Seim Lebkuchen

It's not known if tins of Lebkuchen are still produced under the Gebr. Seim name. A website search states that the company (in name at least) has been owned by Lambertz (of Aachen, Germany) since 1999. This following 6-Stuck (rhymes with spook) tin was purchased here in the U. S. Amazingly it still had an import sticker on the cover. A website search says that a Martin Berg Import Co. began in 1961. Today it's listed in Warren, Michigan, as a confectionery and candy company. So figuring it's the same company, this tin would be dated either 1961 or 1962 because there's no zip code in the Michigan address. The Christmas holiday season for those years would be prior to including a Zip Code which began in July of 1963.
