Introduction
In the tabular material that follows, marks prefaced by THE or DER have been
listed under ‘T’ and ‘D’ respectively: in these cases, the preix is integral with the
registration. Marks where preixes have been used, but are not part of the oicial
registry, have been listed under the second component. Consequently, a mark
such as THE DEVIL will be listed as ‘he Devil’ (under ‘T’) if both components were
included in the registration, or as ‘[he] Devil’ (under ‘D’) is the preix was not
included. his distinction must be remembered if a multi-part brand name is being
assessed.
Similarly, permutations of a monogram should be sought if success is not
immediate; the dominant letter is often extremely diicult to determine. A mark
that apparently reads ABC could also be listed as ‘ACB’, ‘BAC’, ‘BCA’, ‘CAB’ or ‘CBA’.
An attempt has been made to record the marks as they were registered—some
were entirely in capital letters, others in lower case—and also to give a broad idea
of the style of lettering displayed in the registration papers. However, the ways
in which the marks were actually used may difer from the precise registry: highly
decorative marks, for example, were often simpliied when small-scale dies or
punches were required. In addition, punches eventually became too worn to give
crisp strikes, and were replaced. Consequently, there may be many minor (but
otherwise insigniicant) variations in trademark design.

basic guide. his is particularly true of the style of lettering known as “Engraver’s
Gothic”, which is usually little more than plain lettering with tiny wedge-like serifs
(protrusions) at the head or foot of each stroke. In small sizes, these protrusions
are all but imperceptible, and so lettering of this type has sometimes been regarded
as ‘block’ instead of ‘roman’.
Note: marks that are simply the full company name, including initials, are not listed unless
they can be confused with others of similar name. Many of these ‘full name’ marks are ac-
companied by a pictorial or other representational trademark (q.v.) that serves as the primary
identiier.
