(Record 1154 in the 19.13.01 - Mortars and pestles category)

So the Logo / Trademark Registration belonged to ICI AMERICAS INC. (incorporated December 3rd, 1986 (according to Bloomberg) and the registration expired November 4th, 1992.

Here's the english Wikipedia entry for the mother company, albeit a little thin on the american side of operations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_C...Industries

Another mystery solved!
But how many were made ???

Enjoy your rare 48!

Couldn't find my way in that search engine, but it was easy to google once I knew the company name, thanks! :)
