Manufacturer Shell

More than a century and a half ago, in 1833, the English merchant Marcus Samuel Sr. opened a small shop in London and began selling exotic gizmos, among which were caskets decorated with seashells. Shell (Shell) later became a symbol of the world-famous Shell concern. Today, the red and yellow shell - the Shell logo - is registered as a trademark in more than 160 countries around the world.
