The stamp Georg Jensen Inc. in NY has been used since 1939 by Frederick Lunning in NY who used to sell pieces "looking like Jensen" as Jensen Denmark could not use a lot of silver and could not export to the US in the war time because of submarine battles. It seems to have been used til 1950, when export from Denmark became possible again.
