Despard.It was produced by the following companies:Bryant, Arrow, Pass & Seymour (P&S), and Hubbell Bryant is the most commonly produced plates found followed by Hubbell.Pass & Seymour is a little less common with any plates made By Arrow as the rarest to find. The plates marked Arrow would actually be produced by Arrow H&H (Arrow hart and Hegemann -- a merger of the 2 companies) MORE UNILINE HISTORY: There are at least 4 designs in the Uniline series of wall plates... The originator of the Uniline series, Victor R. Despard, patented at least 2 wall plate designs:1. The 1947 Uniline Patent design had a flat raised vertical center with 2 ribs on each side. 2. The 1949 Uniline Patent design had a raised vertical center with ribs separated by 3 fine lines. Known manufacturers of this pattern are Bryant, Hubbell, Pass & Seymour, and Arrow H&H --There are one or 2 very simple Uniline variations without any fancy embellishments (production periods unknown) --The later fancy Uniline Design has a fancy Art Deco "Key" Border of alternating rectangles around a center with the vertical ribs separated by 3 fine lines found in the 1949 design. This pattern came into production sometime after 1950. Known manufactures are Bryant, Pass & Seymour (P&S), Fisher Lighting & Controls, and MM. Manufacturer using MM is unknown at this time, but may be a Leviton Monowat mark. It is believed Fisher reintroduced these plates sometime after 1983. They can be identified by plates marked "F" or with plastic wrappers etc. marked F" --Finally, Leviton produced some plates VERY SIMILAR to the 1949 patented plates by Despard. The ribs are NOT separated by fine lines and the top/bottom is straight. NONE have been found marked or associated with the Uniline Series at this time. Some Company History:Hubbell Founded 1888...
