Marks
The page transcribed for this entry records no mark for this factory. That is stated rather than filled in — a mark is not asserted here because the source does not give one.

- On the death of Carl Theodor the Frankenthal manufactory was abandoned and also transferred to Nymphenburg, which was still in activity as a royal establishment and well supported when Chaffers wrote.Chaffers 1891 · p.488

Why this differs from other listings
This entry exists because the page that carries the Neudech and Nymphenburg history carries no mark for it. Rather than borrow a Nymphenburg mark from somewhere else, it reports the history Chaffers gives, cites the page, and says plainly that the source draws no mark here.
The source page
What this entry does not establish
- Any Nymphenburg mark. Chaffers engraves none on this page, so none is shown — the marks on it are Frankenthal's and are on that entry.
- Anything after 1891. 'Still in activity' is Chaffers writing in his own present, not a statement about now.
- The relationship between Neudech's Ringler and the Frankenthal mark attributed to Ringler on the same page. The source connects them nowhere.
