Jacob s Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 are blacksmiths allowed to have two touchmark signs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyshackleford Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sure. publicise them both. Many that have two have an image, and some form of their initials as well. I've also seen positive and negative forms of the same image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sure, there's no regulating body in this country as far as I know unless you register it as a trademark. have as many as you like. frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironrosefarms Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hofi uses his two, one is HOFI the other by my understanding is his Hebrew name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hammer Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Allowed?????????? I'm not sure I know any blacksmiths that use that word in conjunction with their blacksmith activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I have two, both are versions of the same emblem, but one is a solid R with arrowtail and the other an outline of same. The outline is my registered trademark for jewerly etc, and the solid for blacksmithing. The outline is easier to stamp into delicate jewelery with out distorting that a solid would be. The solid stands up to hot punching better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
