Here’s another piece of STIHL Merch. It’s a sheetmetal shield/sign with vintage STIHL imagery.
The listing states:
STIHL Heritage Sheetmetal Shield
STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® Original Metal Shield Portrait- for true STIHL fans to proudly hang the wall.
In German, it says:
TRAGBARE BAUMFALL- U. ABLÄNG KETTENSÄGEN
ANDREAS STIHL MASCHINENFABRIK STUTTGART – BAD CANNSTATT
STIHL SCHUTZMARKE
And this translates to:
Portable tree-felling and cross-cutting chainsaws
Andreas Stihl Machine Factory Stuttgart – Bad Cannstatt
Trademark
For those who want all the details:
“Tragbare” = portable
“Baumfall- u. Abläng” = short for “Baumfällen und Ablängen” (tree felling and cutting to length)
“Kettensägen” = chainsaws
“Schutzmarke” = registered/trade mark
“Andreas Stihl Maschinenfabrik Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt” = the full name of the Stihl company in the early years (Bad Cannstatt is a district in Stuttgart).
This picture shows the first STIHL gas chainsaw, the Model A, which was released in 1929.
This shows the first STIHL chainsaw, which was the electric STG1, which came out in 1926.
This is the earliest STIHL logo, which preceded the sawtooth logo and slant logo that we know today.
Here’s the back of the metal sign, which shows that some of the details are embossed.
