I came across this Drain Cover, and was happy to see the company's name had been shared here before. This photographed was taken inside the grounds of Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon Tong. The school was completed in 1936, and I guess the covers were original, installed when the school was completed.

Philip Harding Klimanek (1883-1965) was born in the Czech Republic, at the time his place of birth was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In ca. 1905 he started to work for Holland-China Trading Company, in Hong Kong.

In 1939, when Charles Gesner van der Voort arrived in Shanghai to work for the company, he was Charles' superior. In a letter home he wrote: "Played chess with Klimanek in the French Club" [translation Pieter Lommerse, the French Club was Le Cercle Sportif Français, a fashionable place to be in the 1930s and it still exists today].
