There is no known maker of a MADA marked brick. However I do believe this is ADAM backwards. If it were MADA the ‘D’ would be back to front but if it is ADAM in reverse then it is facing the ‘correct’ way.

So was this a business tactic or gimmick – advertising or a disgruntled employee or a genuine mistake…. a good few have now been seen at several locations so if it was a mistake then it went unnoticed for a good while!
