In the year 1906 they changed the name from OSIRIS to \"ISIS Werke Gmbh. kunstgewerblicher Erzeugnisse\". Because of bad management, the firm was almost bankrupt and, sadly, in 1909, Walter Scherf took his own life. That was the tragic end of \"OSIRIS\" –\"ISIS\".
AThe OSIRIS factory was founded in 1899 by father Friedich August Scherf ( 1839-1922)
and son Walter Scherf (1875 –1909). It was called the \" Metallwarenfabrik Fur Kleinkunst
Walter Scherf & co\" in Nürnberg
The factory was very small. In the beginning they had two polish machines, three grinders,
one lathe and an 8 PK steam machine.
Before Walter Scherf became head of OSIRIS, he worked at the firm ORIVIT, until 1899 .

From 1899 until 1909 the factory produced 1300 items .They outnumbered the firm KAYSERZINN with some 300 items . The firm developed a new sort pewter in 1902:
the so-called \"ISIS\" metal. It was more expensive to buy, but not better in quality.
The firm worked with great designers
