Who Am I? Week #7

[kingchuck69]

Once again, it's time for "Who Am I?", the guessing game where you guess the subject. As usual, the winner gets a chunk of my gratitude.

And now, let's begin the shindig....

This week's subject is a THING.

CLUE #1: I was created by four people in a back room in Boston just before the Civil War.

That's what I was thinking, with that Civil Was Sub that they found a few years ago and laid to rest the Confederate Solders.

OK, kids, time for the next clue:

CLUE #2: the first prototype of my logo was created sometime in the 18th century.

 

[kingchuck69]

WOW! No guesses yesterday. Onto...

CLUE #3: Despite my American past, I'm now owned by the Canadians.

Canada's National Anthem, O Canada?

 

[kingchuck69]

Geez, this is definitely a toughie. Tougher than I thought.

But, this will end it all...

CLUE #4: You can see my logo above the scoreboard at Fenway.

Citgo.

:yesshake: John Hancock Financial/Insurance company :yesshake:

In my best Fake Arnold voice, "Dat was a good one."

 

[jasoncardenas21]

Damn, that one was hard.

 

[kingchuck69]

And once again, DoublEE wins!

The answer is indeed John Hancock, founded in 1862 and is now owned by Canadian insurer Manulife.

New contest next week!
