Just to add to the Firmin badges, here are two styles that they had. One style is bi-metal and the other is bi-coloured. The bi-coloured one has the ghost outline of the the Firmin maker mark.

I agree with Steve on this. We've been called a lot of things over the last 100 years! Pat's Pets, Princess Pats, The Pats, Patricia's, and a few other choice names. It is all taken in stride.
