Between 1918-1925, a "TK" was used within a circular stamp, representing the partnership before Fishel joined the company in 1925. From 1935 to perhaps the early 1940s, "KTF" was utilized. However, markings like "TRIFARI PAT NO 2050804" and "TRIFARI CLIP MATES" were also placed discreetly. In November or December of 1937, their advertising agent suggested that the Italian pronunciation of "TRIFARI" would be more appealing than "KTF," leading to the official registration of the "TRIFARI" trademark in 1937. From 1942-1947, the "TRIFARI STERLING" mark was used on sterling silver pieces created during wartime when material restrictions were in place. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51157363872_ce863a1c3b_o.png
