<p>Hi Leslie,</p>
<p>Linnaea Naturhistorisches Institut was a biological supply house
based in Berlin since 1885, before they were based in Frankfurt,
as written on the label. So the specimen has to be something
collected before that. While i did some research on the subject, I
did not find a specific date when the company was founded. They
themselves claimed to be established since 1882, but I found some
Letters from the company dated in 1880 in the archives of the MfN
Berlin. So maybe they started in the 1870's.</p>
<p>Hope this helps at least a little bit. Even though Linnaea was
one of the most prolific supply houses in Germany, there is very
little know of its history. <br>
</p>

<p>Best wishes from the Ruhrarea,<br>
