Help ID Tackle Logo: The D Co?

Post by Teal »

Anyone help on this? Reasonably certain it's the D. Company, but what would that D be?

Could be the TD Co. The fact the full word THE is in the logo on the top of the cap T makes me think the T stands for a word other than THE. My 2 cents. :fished

I’m sure it’ll help knowing what it’s stamped/mail marked on. It should determine if it a retailer or possible maker. Need more pictures of the puzzle…

Here you go, Dr. Todd, about 30 miles from where I live. USTRADES wins again.

The Thomson Diggs Company. Of course! It was staring us right in the face the whole time! 🤔

WTGA! (Way to go, Alan)

Tough search with not a lot to go on. We’ll done.
