I’m sure we’re all wishing you luck in your search, but if your timeline is right, most of his creations would have been “out in the weather” for 80-plus years now; it may not even be recognizable. Since the owner of the business was a family member, you might want to see if any of your relatives can locate original business records, and start tracing recorded sales; that may eventually lead to an example languishing in a barn or backyard, unidentified by the present property owner. If the company records no longer appear to exist, locating an example seems extremely problematic; I can’t locate any user groups associated with the brand, so it’s unlikely that the business was large enough to have attracted owners willing to maintain a database on his products.
The only days I consider “wasted” are the ones during which I fail to receive knowledge, impart knowledge, or perform an act of kindness.
