That's an Estey-branded GE. Estey took over Magnatone in 1961. Originally they were the Estey Organ Company (just like Thomas Organ). They rebadged GE and Mullard tubes, among others.
Here's a pic of the script in full:

:cheers: quite cool!
Handmade, high-impact, great-looking radical queer germanium fuzz. A different approach to 1960s-inspired fuzz pedals, no clones, check them out at https://goodfuzzysounds.com or on YouTube https://tinyurl.com/GFS-YT
