A. J. Schokking Jr. (fl. 1862-1903), Amsterdam.

Arend Jurriaan Schokking Sr. (*1800;†1869) mathematical, scientific and nautical instrument-maker is succeeded by sons Arend Jurriaan Schokking Jr. (*1837;†1903) and Jan Arend Jurriaan Schokking (*1829;†1890) who establish Gebroeders Schokking in 1862 in Amsterdam. The company does not survive long however and is dissolved in August of the same year.  A.J. subsequently sets up his own shop temporarily at Zeedijk K363, then in 1863 moves to Oude Waal 53, and finally to Rokin 123 in 1873. A.J. married Wilhelmina Henrietta Tancrelle (*1838;†1878) in 1866. A.J. Schokking received the predicate 'Koninklijk' in 1889 [9]. The company continues after A.J.'s death in 1903, and in 1923 moves to Kalverstraat 151 [Algemeen Handelsblad 29-11-1923]. Their last advertisement appears in De Telegraaf 13-04-1929.
