About Meyercord decals-
Founded in 1984 by brothers Henry and George Meyercord- Meyercord Decals produced their last decal set in 1983 or so.
Their history is cloudy and hard to trace.
But using tax and trademark records we can see that
By 1983 they had moved to Carol Stream Illinois and started calling themselves Meyercord Co (though to be fair the corporate decals had used that name from the late 1960’s at least) At this point they specialized in security heat transfer decals and machines for cigarette packs, stamps for the USPS, and other security decals.
In 1986, according to Florida tax records, they incorporated as an LLC under the name THE MEYERCORD CO. which ceased operations in 1999 (dissolved)
In 1986 they also sold their Pacific Coast Division plant to Maggis Inc
In Canada they had trademark the name Meyercord from 1932-1987
In the USA the last renewal of the trademark Meyercord was in 1996 for “DECALCOMANIA TRANSFERS” and 1994 was the last trademark issued to the company for “SENTINEL” a “plastic film for creating tamper evident protective decalcomania”
All signs point to them merging with their sister company “Meyercord Revenue Inc” which has the same date of creation and shared a city with Meyercord Decals, later Meyercord Company.
Meyercord Revenue Inc was acquired by SICPA in 2010
