Jema Holland Large Riccoco Mantle Clock (437)

Officially, very little is known of the jema holland story other than, as a business originally started in 1920, it was taken over by the Mager Brothers (Jelis & Johan Willem), the year was approximately 1942 & it wasn't until after the Second World War in 1945, that the business was officially registered and began to expand it's operations.

There does however appear to be quite a large discrepancy in any available information exactly as to when this occured, some documents stating that it was not until as late as the 25th November 1955 that the business was registered officially.

In August of 1958 a third family member, Hendrick Mager became a co director of the business & on the 1st of April 1963 Jelis Mager finally retired, followed by his brother Willem on the 8th of April 1977.

In October 1977 the company got a new director by the name of Adolf Gustaaf Wiemer who apparently was a relative of Hendrick Mager, Hendrick Mager himself retired on the 20th October 1982.

Finally on the 28th June 1984 the company was declared insolvent & had to close it's doors.
