Manufacturer: Carr China Company
User: SKF – Svenska Kullagerfabiken AB
Date of mug: circa 1935 – 1952
Notes: SKF, or Svenska Kullagerfabiken AB, was founded in the first decade of the 20th century in Sweden and has been in business ever since supplying bearings, seals, lubrication and lubrication systems and power transmission products globally.
As of 1912, SKF had 12 manufacturing facilities worldwide, with the largest in Philadelphia, and that is likely the location to which this Carr China was delivered.
Lucky for us, even though they changed their corporate color to blue, their logo is exactly the same as when Carr made this mug!
