Copenhagen-based merchant house
Timeline
1788 - Approx., following the end of østersøisk-guineisk selskab the merchant house of Pingel, Meyer & Prætorius were convinced to take over and direct the Danish trade on the west coast of Africa, in Guinea. This meant that the merchant house took part in the slave trade to the West Indies. Following the 1791 Commission that was to ban the slave trade made the merchant house and their engagement in West Africa disintegrate somewhat quickly (Bruun III, 818)
1803 - By this time, this merchant house was allegedly known as House of Duntzfelt, Meyer & Co
