Dear lawfulhippo,
I searched the database of the British Patent Office for the term
"Salter Merit" and found out that "Salter Merit Young Scientist" is
indeed a trademark registered and owned by Humbrol Ltd., better known
under one of their brands, Airfix, as manufacturers of plastic model
kits and similar toys. "Salter Merit" is not a company of its own at
all.
The official website of Humbrol Ltd. does, however, shows only their
Airfix model toys, while the products you mentioned can not be found
there. Nevertheless, Humbrol-Airfix is definitely the manufacturer of
these educational toys, as a quick additional search revealed.
You can find the Humbrol Ltd. website here:
http://www.airfix.com/
Please note that it is being redeveloped at the moment, the launch of
the new site is announced for the near future. This new website might
also include information about the company's educational toys.
Should you prefer to contact the company directly with questions you
might have, please use this address:
