meerding: Origin of Rolite Works
? meerding: Origin of Rolite Works
A Dutch collector has a Mego D4 from 1927 in his collection. This model is equipped with an ebonite front plate. At the back of this plate a text and logo are visible.

We can see the words "Rolite Works", "WARA" and the year "1925". Further a kind of logo with two bells is visible.
There is also a Dutch text visible "WETTIG GEDEPONEERD", which means "Legally registered".
Who knows the origin of what looks like the name of a company, "Rolite Works" ? (The USA company "Rolite Manufacturing" wrote me not to be the manufacturer.)
Who knows the origin of the logo with the two bells ?
Thanks for your help.

Rulite - The solution
Sometimes the solution of a problem can be found in your own backyard. This is the case for the sheet of ebonite with the text "Rolite Works", "WARA" and the year 1925.
The word "Rolite" appears to be "Rulite" and it is a product sold by W.A. Ruder in Amsterdam, which also explains the word WARA. See the advertisement in the Dutch magazine "Radio Nieuws" of October 1925.
