Then it looks like Davega Sporting Goods faltered in the early 1960s(1963) and Modell Sporting Goods absorbed them. Maybe that's the Modell Sporting Goods connection.


Ok, still sorting the chaff but it appears that in 1926 the Knickerbocker Talking Machine Company, owned/ran/governed by Abram Davega, son if I. Davega, absorbed Schovering, Daly & Gales and the result was Knickerbocker, Schoverling, Daly & Gales and a reprint is available at Cornell Publications:
