The OSIRIS factory was founded in 1899 by father Friedich August Scherf ( 1839-1922) and son Walter Scherf (1875 –1909). It was called the “ Metallwarenfabrik Fur Kleinkunst Walter Scherf & co" in N‚rnberg.
The factory was very small. In the beginning they had two polish machines, three grinders, one lathe and an 8 PK steam machine.
Before Walter Scherf became head of OSIRIS, he worked at the firm ORIVIT, until 1899 .
He took some workers with him and some ideas .
From 1899 until 1909 the factory produced 1300 items .
They outnumbered the firm KAYSERZINN with some 300 items . The firm developed a new sort pewter in 1902: the so-called “ISIS” metal. It was more expensive to buy, but not better in quality.
The firm worked with great designers
such as : Peter Behrens, Joseph Maria Olbrich, Josef Hoffman,
Friedrich Adler, Bruno Paul, Josef Wackerle, Hermann Gradl,
Hermann Friling, Lorenz Hofelich, Richard Riemersmid.
And of course " Walter Scherf "
They had won several prizes :
Certificate of honour in Turin( 1902)
Gold medal of Konig-Ludwig Price (1902)
Gold medal in ST Petersburg (1903/1904)
First and second prize in St. Louis, USA (1904)
Gold medal in Cape town South Africa (1904/1905)
Gold medal in Chistchurch New Zealand (1906/1907) and many certificates and honor medals.
In the year 1906 they changed the name OSIRIS to “ISIS Werke Gmbh.kunstgewerblicher Erzeugnisse”.
Because of bad management the firm was almost bankrupt and sadly in the year 1909 Walter Scherf took his own life. The end of “OSIRIS” –“ISIS” was in 1909.
