Jag har stött på flera gamla Europeiska parlor gitarrer med en jordglob-stämpel i botten. Ofta kan man tyda orden ”Trade mark” i stämpeln. Alternativt samma typ av jordglob instansat på baksidan av huvudet. Har alltid undrat vem som använde den loggan. Nu hittade jag följande text på nätet om en liknande gitarr med en jordglob-stämpel på huvudet:

”On a German guitarsite they told me now that this is a ”Biedermeier” style guitar which was popular in the first half of the 19th century and later had a renaissance at the beginning of the 20th. So this one is from the beginning of last century. It was supposedly made in the Markneukirchen Area, which has been a musical instrument Mecca for 350 years. The globe is supposed to have something to do with ”Weldklang” (worldsound) a company which used the globe as their logo and which sold many different instruments by subcontractors, apparently also guitars, but that this history has been very sparingly documented.”

Gåtan torde vara löst!
