. (Association of Dutch Manufacture)
“VNF” was the logo of the “Dutch Product Association”, established in 1915 by “De Maatschappij”, promoting the sale of locally manufactured - rather than imported goods. Manufacturers meeting certain quality conditions were entitled to use the VNF logo on their products. De Maatschappij, together with the Commercial Office
(Bureau voor handelsinrichtingen, ) set up the Association for Holding Annual Fairs as in De Jaarbeurs (Utrecht) and De Rai (Amsterdam). Untill now a big succes.
Marked on the back with the impressed factory mark for:
