Esta (Czechoslovakia) / c. 1951
Corporate background:

Argentina.
Design: The
word 'Esta' is in the 'modern' style, where there is extreme
contrast between thick and thin strokes -- here, to the point
where the thin strokes have entirely vanished, and it becomes
stencil-like.
In contrast, the double-tailed lion
rampant, taken from the Czechoslovak heraldic coat of arms,
holding a lyre-like musical instrument, is delicately drawn in
a fine line.
