This divider was stamped **ORK Los Angeles. I can't make out the first two (or maybe one) letter in the name.

Any idea on the maker?

Thanks

Mark

I found some info on GarageJournal

I did not follow the links in that first article to know whether or not they were safe for work.

Interesting name.  I wonder if it's an acronym for the names of the owners or something.
