"The Vincent Kohlert instrument making company was established in 1840 in Graslitz, Czechoslovakia and produced bassoons based upon J.H. Heckel’s original designs. By the early 1900s the company had grown to 600 employees and produced a variety of woodwind instruments. Kohlert bassoons were considered to be some of the best available at that time." - Miller Marketing
A member of the international professional Bassoon Community offered this input:
"The country appears to read "CZECHO    SLOVAKIA".
To the best of my knowledge there were three bassoon makers in Czechoslovakia - Kohlert, Puchner and Riedl, all based in a German-speaking town called Graslitz (Kraslice in Czech).. "CZECHO SLOVAKIA" is probably the German equivalent of "Ceskoslovensko" in Czech, but the fact that CZECHO and SLOVAKIA appear to be separated suggests the very early days of the newly emergent republic as in 1918 it was spelled "Cesko-Slovensko", but the hyphen was dropped soon afterwards."
Henri Dubois is a 'stencil' instrument, made with different name added or supplanted to the original maker's name. They were either branded
distributors
and or
dealers
who supplied them direct or though third party sellers.
Another member recalls having a Kohlert  along with  the five coin logo which can be seen at the top of the distributor's name.
