This started out to be yet another one of hundreds of MPs that ended up in my possession. Not a collector of Vintage MPs but do find researching old logos satisfying. This one really became quite interesting and thought to share here with all of you.
Right away, based on the Company name “Whitmoyer Laboratories, Inc.”, this dates between 1934 to 1964 (after that, name was changed).
Anyone who is interested in this MP and it’s “Hallmark” contents, please contact me. I do have some info gained from calling EPA in Pennsylvania.
