Razor Strop, Made by ?

Picked up this old razor strop and trying to figure who made it. The best I can see is the block letters above the symbol is O G Thomas Co but the symbol looks like COT. Also perhaps the letters under the symbol starts DESMO??? I've tried searching but not coming up with anything. Any suggestions?

 

Well, if it says Des Moines.... and CO Thomas.

 

Well I sort of figured that was a possibility but nothing comes up on a search of those so hoping someone had seen a like item.

 

There was a G. G. Thomas Co. located in Des Moines and Ottumwa, Iowa who made shaving-related items. I'm not sure why their logo would look like that, and I didn't find the logo anywhere else. I did find the following links:

One of the razors in this current listing is from the company:

Thanks for the info Figtree3, that's one of the things confusing me (not that it takes a lot to do anymore) was the logo vs the wording above it. The wording could be GG Thomas Co but why is the logo COT? Perhaps a mystery that will remain so.

 

The lower case or at least smaller o to complete the Co abbreviation for Company is not at all uncommon in older company logos.

 

I was thinking that, but the C being so large was throwing me off. Maybe it was an artistic decision. I does look nice that way, with the C and O dominating.
