I heard from a collector in Costa Rica, that this brand is related to ONKEL TUCA. I can't remember the details, but I think I can remember, that the owner of the banana farm is German.

Tante Käthe was the nickname

Submitted by PETER NIESSEN on

Tante Käthe was the nickname for a german soccer player, Rudi Völler. This name was given to him because he got gray hair at a very young age. Possibly the owner of the Company was a great fan of him.
