Timber Industrial Iron Tool Trademarks Registered in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and in the Kingdom of Hungary Between 1876-1945
This book has three objectives: to provide a comprehensive catalogue of registered trademarks on iron tools used in the timber industries in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy during the period of 1876-1945, to provide examples of signs found on axes, broad /felling axes, hatchets, choppers and picks, respectively, in order to broaden the knowledge in this field to explaine the complicated classification system used by the iron-mongers in the 19th century The short description of two Hungarian iron tool manufacturers - Rimamurány-Salgótarjáni Vasmű Rt (Rimamurány-Salgótarján Iron Works PLC) and the Szentendrei Szerszámüzem (Szentendre Iron Tool Manufacture) - , highly esteemed by the author, is also included in the book. The photos are prepared by the author on the basis of his own axe-collection. The statistical relationships derived from the large number of collection items enable to shed light on general rules and regularities. Chapter 9 provides a catalogue of 1123 trademarks containing not only the photos of the signs, but also exact data with regards to the date, place of registration and the owner of the trademark for a given iron tool and sign. Consequently, by using the catalogue the origin of the tools can be exactly determined.

Registered Trademarks of Knives, Razors, Side Arms and Thrusting Weapons Knives, Razors, Side Arms and Thrusting Weapons Trademarks Registered in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and in the Kingdom of Hungary Between 1876-1945
My previous book, entitled Timber Industrial Iron Trademarks, published in 2007, presented more than one thousand illustrations of trademarks registered between 1876-1945 in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and in the Kingdom of Hungary. In collecting the documentation for this book, I found many well-designed pictures of trademarks applied by the blacksmiths on knives, razors, and various weapons. They captured my attention and inspired me to collect and publish the registered trademarks of these tools, taking me far afield from my usual area of research, which is the timber industry. Consequently, Readers of this book are requested to consider this publication an outgrowth of previous work on trademarks. Its purpose is to present additional examples of registered trademarks applied by blacksmiths around the time of the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. The nearly 800 trademarks presented here are only a sample of the trademarks found on tools during this period, because the blacksmiths, for unknown reasons, did not always register them. Further research is needed before a comprehensive publication may be produced of unregistered trademarks and trademark applications made by blacksmiths working in guilds or alone in villages during previous periods. The present catalogue follows the same format as the previously published one. That is, all the following information is presented in a single line: pictures of the trademark, the name of the owner of the trademark, the place and date of registration, and the name of the registered tool. I call the kind Readers' attention to the fact that the trademarks listed here cannot be found exclusively on the tools mentioned in the book's title. This is because the owners of the trademark also used them on tools or utensils on objects that are beyond the scope of this book, and therefore are not dealt with. For this reason, I also offer this catalogue to those who are studying the origin of other varieties of tools and utensils, because some of these trademarks may also appear on these objects as well. I wish good success in researching old trademarks to all my kind Readers and Colleagues who have the goal of understanding and preserving the old values. I hope that my efforts are useful to my audience in providing them with a book that will allow them to identify a trademark whose origin they have long been seeking.
