Antedating of "Frankfurter"

[Hugo]

I found lots of earlier "Frankfort sausages" (1863), "sausage of Frankfort"
(1869), "Frankfurt sausages" (1871) and "Frankfurter sausages" (1873) in
Australia. Here's the first of each.

Bell’s Life in Sydney and Sporting Chronicle (NSW, Australia), Saturday 28
August 1869, page 3:

[Begin]
I was strolling along "Our Street" of George one
day last week when I suddenly recollected to have heard
of one Maywald who manufactures tho wonderful
sausage of Frankfort ; and so, straightway to the shop
of Maywald I did repair. There I found the sausage of
Frankfort, a wonderful production of the sausage
maker's art, besides other manufactures of a like nature ;
and I can strongly recommend the lovers of a " good
thing" in tho supper line to never be without some of
Maywald's " curious compounds."
