The American Ansonia Watch Company of New York registered the Mentor name in 1912, and it seems that the Mentor brand name appears on other watches until the mid-1940s - in these cases, however, the mark is not in the same style or font as the "retro" style mark found on the bulk of post-War Mentor watches.

The first conclusive connection I came across between a named post-War watch company and the "Mentor" name was a word mark filed in 1953 and subsequently registered on 6/1/1954 as a trademark for  a company supplying watches, parts of watches, and watch cases. The last holder of the Mentor name was listed as, "Bader & Hafner, Holderbank," but as this takes the use of the name up to 1995, I am not exactly sure when the use of the "Mentor" name on watches was discontinued.

Beneath this reference, issydoro mentions that he himself owns a, "Forsythe Bader & Hafner mov brevet 227383 it has an Alarm .
