May 2[edit]

[edit]

One of my devises has a Logo printed on it, but not the name of the manufacturer. Can somebody help me to figure out the company behind the logo? I have uploaded pictures of the logo here and here. I appreciate any help --Alosolo (talk) 18:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What type of device, and how old is it? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a light socket, similar to this one, but from a different manufacturer. I have no clue about the age, but probably less then 10 years old --Alosolo (talk) 19:11, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm having a hard time finding anything like it. What country are you in? Maybe it's something from a smaller company in whatever country you're in and knowing which could help? Dismas|(talk) 04:45, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I expected it to be something like "Western Electrical", but it's definitely not the UK company by that name. Dbfirs 09:00, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I expected as well and did a number of searches around that theme to no avail. Dismas|(talk) 14:02, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Could it be the Chinese company Wanfang Electric Factory? Their products have a model number starting with WF for Wan Fang (the logo could be a WF rather than a WE although it is hard to tell with the circle around it... or WE could stand for Wanfang Electric. --Canley (talk) 06:32, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I actually figured it out. I live in the USA. The logo is from Weco Electrics. Thx everybody for your help --Alosolo (talk) 20:45, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
