Friedrich Sebastian Anton, Georg Philipp jr. & Franz Anton

1909 marked an important milestone in firm history with the development of Alexander’s first full double horn, the Model 103. This patent marked the beginning of rapid development in horn design. In 1913 Friedrich Sebastian Anton died. Georg Philipp Jr. fell at Verdun in 1916. Their widows and the aged Franz Anton piloted the business through the First World War and the difficult years that followed.
