Yet another Trademark identification request

[RogerP]

Its on a pair of old pincers. I've looked in a couple of websites but can't find it. Anyone?

Guessing that the words were German I tried Wolfgang Jordan's excellent site. I think this is the answer:

Thank you Andy that would be it I'm sure. Dunno how you do it!

Ges. Gesch. (= gesetzlich geschützt) is, I believe, the German equivalent term for trademark.

Isn't that the logo on one of the recent car boot haul [toolsntat] squares?

Bingo!

Certainly looks like it.

I thought it looked familiar from somewhere....


I'm off for another swim. I wonder if I'll see a plastic castle this time? ;-)

I'll throw this in.

Founded in 1790 by Johann Dietrich Schmidt in Sprockhoevel-Westfalen Germany. His son was Peter L. Schmidt. He gave the company to the son, and the son came up with the trademark logo. In 1841 the company moved to Elberfeld Germany. Peter's two sons Johannes Dietrich and Karl Emanaul were made partners in the company. They had an exhibition in Berlin in 1844 where they displayed the tools. They had a world exhibition in London in 1851 where they showed steel, iron, and brass tools including screw taps, files, gimlets, nippers, hammers, vises, shears, planes, saws, locks, scales, hindges, taps, and skates. Another in Paris in 1855 where they got a bronze metal for their saws and files. In 1875 Carl Kaemmerlin joined and started working on exports and was in charge of England sales. Later he left to open C.K. Tools in London. His son, Wilhelm Kaemmerlin, joined C.K. Tools and later took over (in 1935 upon Peter's death) Peter L. Schmidt company. The two companies merged within a short time frame. In 1943 all the locations of the company were destroyed in the war, and were rebuilt in 1947. In 1954 the company transfered to Pwllheli Whales. Today the company is called Carl Kaemmerlin International and is one of the biggest employers in the area.

Mmmm, so maybe my square is a product of theirs to?
Must give it a buff and see if there is any writing :wink:
If it is, this throws a different light onto the many other tools I have with the square and divider logo.......

Looks like there is some writing to the right of the mark in the photo.
