The H D Smiths would not be after 1930 or so. They went out of business at the beginning or just before the Depression. Patents were continued by Trimo.
Pexto went on longer.

Thanks Pawpaw.


The logo on the 12" looks almost modern while the 10" looks like the picture I borrowed from AA. It looks alot older.
