From The Manufacturer

The Garden Weasel was ‘discovered’ in 1974 at the Cologne Hardware Show in Germany, as it was being demonstrated by its inventor, Gerhardt Guetschow. The tool, and even its unusual name, Garden Weasel, caught the eye of Gordon T. Beaham III, who was president of Faultless Starch Company at the time. It was a serendipitous moment, as Beaham was ‘in the market’ for new products and ways to diversify his company; noting that ‘people may not be starching their own shirts in the not-too-distant future.’
