Dr Bodenstein states –  “I have found bricks bearing the stamp “A. BALD, ALLOA” in Cairo, Egypt. They were used to line the interior of the smokestack of the historical (and now completely derelict) gun foundry at the Cairo Citadel. I found these bricks when working on my survey project on industrial architecture in Egypt, while in Cairo at the German Archaeological Institute”
