The surname “Jochimsen” is a patronymic name of North German and Danish origin, derived from the personal name “Jochim”. Genealogy searches produced a number of references for the Jochimsen name, or a variation, from the early 1700’s through the mid-late 1800’s. The forename spelled as “Jürgen” was referenced in Northern Germany, more specifically Schleswig. The forename spelled as “Jørgen” was referenced mainly in the southern part of Denmark’s Jutland Peninsula and nearby islands. The Jutland Peninsula forms the continental portion of Denmark and part of Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. Schleswig was part of the Danish Kingdom and was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia after the Second Schleswig War (1864).
The touch marks on the underside of the lid were identified on page 385 of the reference “Norddeutsche Zinngiesser” (North German Tin Pounder) by Erwin Hintze. The mark with the blank shield and 3 arrows signifies the town of Schleswig. The mark with the heart and crossed arrows and the “LHT” and “1781” is the mark of Ludolf Hinrich Trost. Trost trained in Lüneburg under Matthias Heinrich Sellschopf from 1763 – 1766. Trost became a master in 1778 and performed the citizen's oath (Schlesw.gerichtsb.) on March 24, 1779. In 1781, Trost joined the Lübeck guild as a foreign master and changed his mark from 1778 to 1781.
