Metal heart trinket box

[libnian]

Aquired through family , no knowladge of it .. I have looked on numerous websites and found nothing remotely similur also i have tried looking for the symbol on the bottom , to no avail ... I actually ran out of variations on how to search- symbol in a triangle old metal, company symbol diamond etc ,,, so on so forth ...

Can you take a clearer picture of the mark?  It could be WMF but I can't tell for sure.  GG

[libnian]

[libnian]

Better photo, i dont think its wmf ?

[bigwull]

Not WMF....

[libnian]

Yh , thankyou , i looked up wmf and thats an emu .. still none the wiser with this one :/ ..

Could be looking at the mark wrong !! If you turn it upright,, it is a stylized fish,,fin would be on the left,, looks like a marlin or similar type,has a long nose,, the letter loops around it !! First looked like an S but could also be U.S. if you follow the line !!

[gg27]

Yes, everyone's is correct, certainly not WMF!  GG

Also looks like a pair of bowed legs with,a fish,passing through,....and No, I have,nt had any M.A.D,s...

[libnian]

I also have been thinking it could be a bow and arrow although the arrow is bizzare , maybe french ?

There's a Japanese / Chinese look to this and the lozenge mark is often a retailer or merchants logo.

Tilted the other way, it looks like a dolphin leaping through the letter / symbol for omega
