Good point Dave, I have never seen any acknowledgement of trademarks on any of
the old 50's-70's Esso or Shell items. Ditto for the 1:87 cars/trucks. No box
or brochures (that came with these items) had acknowledgements either.
On the 1:87 cars/trucks from 1955-61 there is not even an acknowledgement on the
cars/trucks themselves that they are a "Bedford" or "VW" truck or car. Only
with the advent of the #262-#268 Lego cars (in clear plastic garages) starting
in the fall of 1961 (although some came later) did TLG start writing "Mercedes"
or "Ford" or "Karmann", etc, as well as the model type. But there was never the
little "R" for regestered trademark.
Very Interesting!
