Matthias William Hanck was one of the best (and unfortunately least known) Arts & Crafts metalsmiths. He worked at the Kalo Shop when it was first starting, and left a few years later to form a short-lived boutique operation with Julius Randahl called the Julmat (taken from the first syllables of their names). Hanck eventually started his own business, and also made pieces marked and sold by nearby T.C. Shop.

Hanck had one of the best marks, a flower in a flowerpot with an "H" in the pot and the name "HANCK" in tiny letters in the front of the flower.

Here's the mark in a pair of tongs:

Hanck also used the mark HANCKMADE, which presumably was a play on the word HANDMADE. Here's the HANCKMADE mark on a gold ring:

And here's the pretty ring itself, with a moss agate stone:
