Re: [PIUG List] A Search Request

Thanks Bob. Dupont having been a powder company for many years must have
caught your attention :-). You are correct, you found right one. I had
searched the USPTO website by the date but received no hits, I was not using
the advanced feature where you utilized isd/... I did perform a Google
search for B.G.I. Co. and came up with some info including the one you
mention also a few of the items listed on eBay.

Thanks to all who helped out, I feel bad about all your time that I have
wasted but am happy to have been able to help out my friend.
