<\/a><\/p>\nSometimes I find the weirdest things from flea markets. I don’t really remember anymore when, but it was years ago when I happened to buy some sort of technical drawing. Many of you must have seen flat cases with velvet insides with something that looks like compass with different size nibs for it. Those are for technical drawing tools and this is what it looks like when using them. Lines are very fine and details are sharp. So person who made this facade-like design clearly knows how to use technical compass. Perhaps the person was architect or engineer. Pencil drawing below seems some sort of logo. Company it was made for used part of it later as their logo, the sawblade with letters F & S. In the early 1900’s some companies used decorative heraldic style coat of arms. Design gave the feeling of some sort of certificate or diploma. Sometimes you might find them in old ads or even old packages.<\/p>\n
Finska S\u00e5gbladsfabric Ab doesn’t have much information online, only the fact that it changed it’s name into finnish version Suomen Sahanter\u00e4tehdas Oy in 1921. Allthough company still used the swedish version in their communication, alongside the finnish one as late as -32. These drawings, however, are most likely done before the name change. Company was founded by engineer Alexander H. L. Gyllenberg in 1889 with entrepreneur Rudolf Winter and manufacturer Johan Enqvist. Factory was located in Onkiniemi, that place is now demolished and built with housing. Production of Sahanter\u00e4tehdas was finished in 1971 and company was discontinued in 1974. Gyllenberg himself died already in 1918.<\/p>\n
It would be fun to know if these were only suggestions, or if they ever actually used them. And what is that decorative design anyways?<\/p>\n
