Hello Julian
My assumption of only two years is purely apocryphal from talkng to others and I have made no personal research myself. It is just my understanding - I think it was also touched upon in a previous thread on this site.
From owning Jennens badges I am sure Gaunt would have been keen to add the Jennens name to their stamp as they are such good quality. I would therefore be very interested to hear the results of your research in how long they retained this stamp.
My point was that I felt that using a stamp 'late Jennens' 24 years after their purchase would seem excessive and perhaps would bring no value in promoting Gaunt's own work. Though having said that the company I work for has been acquired 3 times in the past 10 years and thus has had 3 name changes. Yet some customers still call out equipment using the initial company name.
Cheers
Mark
