"The 1960 KRICO brand mark does not have "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" (legally protected)."

"Gesetzlich Geschutzt" (legally protected) is missing from the KRICO brand mark as early as 1957.

It's my guess that "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" on the KRICO brand sticker may date the item to 1945 or before.

Here is an image from a 1961 KRICO advertisement.
