Do you know this trade mark?

Gang,

Do you know which OEM owned this trade mark and when it was filed/issued?  The trade mark looks like a diamond with an arrow in it and the initials DE superimposed on the arrow shaft.

Here's a couple of pic's:



Any info appreciated...

Gang,

For the record, I'm refurbishing this hammer.  I will post it up in the auto tools forum when I get it done.

Thanks again for the identification, OEM, and approximate date.  You guys are really good at this stuff.

 A very worthwhile project! I look forward to seeing the results...

I love the Diamond Edge catalog.

clovis,

I believe that is an advertising poster that was probably displayed in hardware stores that carried Diamond Edge tools.  Whatever it is, I like it too.

Until I found this hammer, I had never heard of Diamond Edge tools or Shapleigh Hardware Co.  Around here (i.e. Tool Talk), you learn something new everyday. It's a good place to hang out and discover tool stuff.

A "BIC" hammer, that's a first for me;o) and a pink one at that:o)

Yeah, those old Shapleigh Hardware Co. ads were excellent. Art!

If you liked the first one, maybe you'd care to see some more?

Those would look great blown-up & framed!!.  They don't make them like that anymore.
