Evidently someone bought up a bunch of companies with
somewhat related products. Elmer's does not appear on the
Hunt-Beinfang web site, it is an independant site, but
dealer sites seem to lump the Elmer's products with Hunt's.
It is very puzzling that both Hunt and Light Impressions
seem to make the same former Seal products. Also Bogen at
one time made dry mount presses. I don't have any of the old
literature handy but I remember them as being similar to the
Seal presses. Perhaps Bogen still makes them, I didn't look.
There are a great many familiar old trade-names which are
owned by companies who have no relationship to the original
proprietor and sometimes little with the original product
(Rollei sunglasses). It would be intesting to know what
happened to the "Seal" trademark.
