NESCO - National Enameling and
stamping company was internationally
famous for its graniteware cooking
utensils in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. NESCO played
an important role in World War I by
producing heavy steel plates for
armoring battleships and enameled goods
for soldiers. In the 1930s Nesco was
the worlds largest manufacturer of
housewares, which included the NESCO
Kerosene range.
In the 1950s, NESCO was purchased by Knapp Monarch Company of St. Louis, and continued
to distribute a wide range of products "By Nesco" to hardware, drug, and discount
stores, into the 1980s. Products
included water pails, Garbage & ash
cans, wash tubs, roasters ovens,
deep-fryers, outdoor camping gear, back
packs, camouflage hunting attire,
inflatable boats, plastic oars, fishing
gear, air mattresses, pool floats, rain
gear, golf putters, exercise jogging
suits, dartboards, lawn darts
badminton, and footballs.
From
about 1967-1983, Nesco also produced baseballs, baseball
bats and discount store quality
baseball gloves. The logo design that
precedes Nesco is a combination of the
top of the "B" and the top of the "Y"
connected to
form "By" Nesco. The logo is sometimes
used by itself. The cloth patch on the
back reads "A NESCO ALL STAR PRODUCT"
