Trade Marks Used By Fp Manufacturers - List, 1922, Usa

[coffe_cup]

Hello,

 

While searching through the web I found the publication titled "Trademarks of the jewelery and kindred trades", published in 1922. Here is few pages on fountain pens that I (at least) found very, very interesting. What caught my eyes is a sign used by Salz Bros and which looked like Penkala pens trade mark ... also there is a small mistake according John Holland brands: FountOgraph instead Fountagraph.

Enjoy! http://fountainpenboard.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png

oh, there was a Pilot Pen Co, in Chicago in those days. Interesting.

Very interesting! Thank you.

 

Do you think that manufacturers with a long list of various and sundry names not related to their own were making private labels for stores/outlets?

[coffe_cup]

By private labels you mean imprints?

[Dickkooty2]

Not 'imprints' as for advertising or personalization. But imprints that were to create an exclusive brand for a store that they could carry to display along side other perhaps better-known/higher price brands.

Some of the names are indeed sub-brands, but they generally are not private label brands (that is, brand names belonging to retailers, as opposed to the pen manufacturer).

 

Note that while these volumes are very useful, they often have typos and the like (for example, the Conklin crescent mark is mistakenly placed above the Colonial entry instead of below). And in many cases the info is quite old.
