Do you know this Scottish Woollen Association label?

This is hand sewn on a scarf. I have been able to find the trademark in the 1922-29 period, but I don't have the research resources to know it is only from that time period.

 

I've never seen it before.

This company information suggests the company was founded in 1918 and dissolved in 2002.

That doesn't mean it was active all that time

 

And this suggests the same company was using a different label from 1959

Grace's guide shows the later label from 1958

Very helpful, thank you Ruth!

 

It does appear the name is the Scottish Woollen Trademark Association , rather than the Scottish Woollen Association.

Seems like their purpose was to set up a licensed trademark, a bit like the Woolmark, to certify true Scottish woollens from imitators. There's a few references to archives / libraries of various papers but nothing online..
