Obviously, this could go down many different paths. Just throwing out some food for though.
The whole industry was this way. Pieces of this and that from this company or that. PIKE < NORTON< SRD all different names. Who made the hones :<0) Bob Smith > He worked for all 3 names in the same factory. So just saying you could go by names on things and be just as safe if you went with different names same company made them all. Okay I got to stop now I am getting dizzy.
