Keefe-Gartner Corp. Phila. PA.
Holtzer Cabot: Holtzer Cabot made several different headphones from the 1920's such as the big can Universals which were good quality with pretty good sensitivity, and the small can 2000 ohm sets pictured that had excellent sensitivity. They also made a military set that was equivalent to WE 590's.
Holleyfone: Don't know much but I have one set with aluminum cans and this set with nickel plated brass housings, 2000 ohms.
ICA: Insuline made various test equipment and the headphones were cheap consumer grade, look like they might have been made by Cannon.
JACO: Ambrose took over from Cannon, Cannon and Miller, and if you go back even further, Cannon took over brandes headphones. JACO was still making headphones last I checked around 2001, in New York State. This pair of JACO's had the earcap crimped on so you can't get inside to fix them.
IBM: I don't know anything about these headphones, look like Trimm design but this is the only pair I have ever seen of IBM magnetic type headphones.
Kellogg: The Kellogg Telephone Company also made radio parts such as these 64-B 2000 ohm headphones. They had a unique headband and were very good quiality, with good sensitivity.
Kollmorgen: These must be very rare as this is the only pair I have ever seen. and they are not on the OTB Master Headphones List. 2200 ohms
Kennedy: The Colin B. Kennedy Company made high quality radios in the 1920's and their headsets are also well made. I have only seen a few pairs as they are quite uncommon and I have seen them go for well over $200 at auctions. The ones I have seen had real leather covered headbands and cloth cord. The construction and parts are interchangeable with early bakelite Trimms and I wonder if Trimm made these for Kennedy.
Keefe-Gartner: This is a very high quality headset with douible metal headband, celluloid insulator plate on the cans, nice bakelity earcaps, and 4 magnet bars per side. They are 3000 ohms DC resistance and sound great with crystal radio. This is the only pair I have ever seen.
