Hi! Please don't publish my email address if it appears on your side. Send me an email so I can forward a picture of Cora to add to your blog. I have a pretty good, clear shot of the logo on a box in my collection that I think you would like. Enjoyed the story. There's not much about the company history online, so thank you.
