I recently acquired a copy of C. Drew & Co. Catalogue 59, which coincidentally was issued in 1959. One of the many interesting aspects of the catalogue was the term CAT'S PAW followed by the symbol ® indicating that CAT'S PAW was a registered trademark. A search of registered trademarks in the online database provided by the United States Patent and Trademark Office contained the following information:
