GUNTHER JAECKEL

Gunther Jaeckel was a New York furrier. Gunther & Sons had been established in NYC in 1920, and Jaeckel, Inc., in 1863. The two firms merged in 1947, and at that time they expanded their offerings beyond furs to include lady's dresses and suits.

They bought Adrian's entire spring 1948 line which was presented in a special section of the store. Although they continued to specialize in furs, Gunther Jaeckel also offered high quality lady's wear. In 1959 Gunther Jaeckel was bought by Walter Hoving, the owner of Bonwit Teller.
