H and H .
Hint...Like I said this was a family owned and operated company from 1899 until 2006 when they sold out to a major company ... so their brand name and products are still being made and sold today.
Beetle spin ?

Interesting story.....Mr. "Big John " Hildebrandt was sitting at his desk in 1893 and formed a piece of wire for a spinner shank and then tapped out a spinner blade out of a silver dime...put them together and put in a tub of water and it worked...he made many like that for his friends. Business grew and a small factory was started in 1899. He had a dream of some day having a big factory building. After his death his son took over and as the business grew the big factory became a reality.
I hope you enjoyed todays Trivia...I know I did...see you next Monday morning. Below is a picture of a Hildebrandt spinner.
