Hi Steve,

I can confrim that 'Edina' was a brand name used by A. &. T. Burt at least from the 1890s through to the 1920s. By 1899 it was being used on their 'washdown water closets' (toilet system). The name was also used on windmills, water heaters, and other products.

If you need more detail please e-mail us at archives.hocken@otago.ac.nz.
