The "new" official logo is the trademark of our company and will be carried with pride on all Coates merchandise.

We actually found the original logo on a 1938 Coates sales catalogue, so we are just revisiting an old friend...

What are the chances you could scan and post excerpts from that old catalogue? I am sure many here would like to see that!

Yes, I've seen that older logo on a few vintage shave brushes. Seems appropriate.

Interesting, I guess the term ‘Toilet Brush’ has kind of morphed over the decades! :lol:

Thanks!
