Lloyd's Book of House Flags and Funnels (1912) shows the house flag of the company (#37, p. 38), based in Hamburg, as subsequently shown by Wedge, but with some differences:
- the nine stripes are of equal width;
- the "F" is placed in an oval;
- the "F" is seriffed.

It seems that Lloyd's was the main source of information for Wedge. All the house flags I have hitherto found in the FOTW website "as shown by Wedge" are also shown in Lloyd's. Of course, the size of the sample is too small to conclude since I have browsed only the first two pagesof Lloyd's.

The title of the book "D. Fuhrmann, Nissle & Günther Nflg. ("Nachfolger", "Successors"), 1840-1965", published in 1965, seems to indicate that this venerable company was founded in 1840. The company is still registered as a container operator in Bremerhaven.
