Help Finding Company

The attached photo is from a project site. The panel has 5 blank spaces and no spare breakers. I need to tell the owner whether adding load to this panel will be possible, that is whether new breakers can be procured. But I cannot find information on the manufacturer. I wonder whether they are long-since out of business. Anyone have any experience with these guys?

Apparently they shared an address with Adam Frank Electric is San Francisco.

Would the UL number be of any help at all in tracking them down?

If I was looking for a weird old breaker type I would be PMing or calling a feller named Zog (Scotty).

Do you have pictures of the breakers?

Many times these local panelboard shops would use breakers from one of the big companies and from there you can find a modern replacement. Hopefully

Sometimes, if the load on a particular circuit, say something like a breaker feeding a sub panel or a breaker feeding an a/c unit, you can use that breaker to feed another panel and move that particular circuit into the new panel. Depends on many things, of course.

Probably easier to change the panel.

My thoughts as well, but I'm not there or privy to those nasty things called details.
