It is arguable if Keilwerth influences Kohlert's designs more or vice versa 6.
1914-1925 (Approximately): Julius Keilwerth apprentices at the Kohlert company.

The similarity in design is not because they shared a common ancestor, but more rather because company X would produce a good design and then everyone else would copy it (this tidbit of information popped up numerous times while I researched Kohlert and Keilwerth). The similarity in names and similarity in the saxophone designs from Kohlert and K�hler throws most folks for a considerable loop. However, while the K�hler example I've seen does not look like a Keilwerth or Kohlert design, yes, there's always the possibility that K�hler did stencil some horns from either Keilwerth or Kohlert.
