"Made in Elkhart, Ind." trombones

I have seen a few trombones popping up on auction sites that simply have "MADE IN ELKHART, IND." stamped on the bell with no logo. Any idea who made these?

Here are some pics:

Thanks!

typical student stencils, almost doesn't matter what brand they were sold under

That looks like a Blessing counterweight.

My guess was Blessing, too.

That looks exactly like my Blessing, but it lacks the Blessing stamp before "Made in Elkhart".
