Scheid completed a commercial apprenticeship until 1853 and subsequently worked in Pforzheim and Stuttgart (Germany). In 1858 he went to Vienna and worked there in the workshop of his future father-in-law, the silverware producer and jeweler Michael Markowitsch. Together they founded the OHG Markowitsch & Scheid in 1862. 20 years later, he left the thriving company and founded in 1882 under his name a jewelry factory and 1884 also the Georg Adam Scheid'sche Affinerie, from which later the Ögussa emerged. In 1911 he retired. His jewelry works bear the marks "G.A.S. " or "S.G.A.". This large and heavy one-of-a-kind piece measures approx. 4" long x 4" wide x 4 1/2" high and weighs approx. 1 lbs.
