GARDNER-DENVER

It's been awhile since I featured a two sided mug - and by that I mean thermochromic on two sides.  This mug comes from Gardner-Denver, a company which makes professional manufacturing tools and accessories.  Above is one side of the mug, showing a large square with white letters "GARDNER-DENVER."
On the opposite side is a dark circle with the names of its subsidiaries beside it. These are Dotco©, Apex & Utica®, DolerTM, Buckeye®, DGD/Gardner-Denver, Gardner-Denver®,Assembly SysemsTM, Master Power® & Stuhr.

When hot liquid is added, the square clears to show "The Color of Performance  PULSE 2000" and the circle clears to show the name Cooper Power Tools.
It is unclear as to what this mug represents, perhaps the merger of yet another company with the Gardner-Denver conglomerate.  Pulse 2000 I am told was a power tool convention and show held in the year 2000 so it makes sense that this mug may have been a corporate freebie at that show.  

The colors are dark, quite opaque and the color change is near complete and swift.  A great mug.
