You may find information about Theodor Poppe (Dresden) here:

http://www.museum-markneukirchen.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=979

This is the Marktneukirchen museum forum. Unfortunately the conversation is in German. If necessary I can translate ist.

The Th.Poppe business existed in Dresden from ca. 1880 - 1945. The expert says the the intonation may be a problem for modern orchestras. We in Germany play at 442 Hz or higher. Many American orchestras still play at 440 Hz - so this may not be an essential problem.
