The German toy maker Jean Schoenner began production in Nuremberg in 1875. Twenty years later his company had 250 employees making mainly optical toys and magic lanterns, but also steam engines. In those years the firm made probably hundreds of thousands of lanterns. At first the trade mark was S.N. (Schoenner, Nuremberg), later on the initials J.S. were used, placed in an octagonal roundel.
No toys produced after 1906 are known. Probably by 1904 most parts of the firm's tooling machinery had been taken over by Johann Falk. All traces of the firm had disappeared by 1913.
