Politechnika (later renamed into Politoys) is wellknown as the original producer of Rubik's Cube. Lesser known is that Politechnika also produced a large number (at least 39) of promotional cubes. These were sold in various blue packages known from that era.
The version shown here advertises for Ganz Danubius. Ganz was a group of companies founded in 1845 by Ábrahám Ganz in Budapest. It was well known for the manufacturing of tramcars, but also made ships (Ganz Danubius), bridge steel structures (Ganz Acélszerkezet) and high-voltage equipment (Ganz Transelektro). Since 1989, various parts of Ganz have been taken over by other companies.
The logo at the cube is of the Ganz Danubius company, which was the result of a merger in 1911 between the Ganz company and the Danubius Shipbuilding Company. The company is currently still active and operating from Budapest.
The logo is visible on all the blue face piece.
It came in german politechnika packaging "Computer Consulting München"
The year is unknown but 1983 is an upper bound.
