Default Interesting Clothing Label....

A friend just picked up a sweater with this label but I can't find anything about the guy who's the manufacturer. Maybe I'm reading the name wrong?

Default Example on eBay last month.

I see a red one on eBay.

That seller wrote out the manufacturer’s name just the way I see it on the label.

Now I want one.

Are you referring to Octonek?

or Frank Troeh?

Frank was who I meant, I was spelling the name wrong. Thanks!

Troeh used a Smith at the 1920 Olympics but did most of his singles work with a Winchester Model 12

Troeh was a big name in shooting clothing and trapshooting. I think Larson might be a name in trapshooting also.
