Accompanying material
Trodat is an Austrian company which began operations in 1912 by Franz Just and his wife. The two started by boiling stamping ink on their stove and saved their earnings to open their first business as stamp manufacturers in Vienna. In 1960, his son Walter Just registered the Trodat product brand. Trodat is made up of the syllables Tro and Dat. Tro stands for trolitul - a plastic that was used to make stamps - and dat is an abbreviation for date stamp.
