Mystery trade mark


I'll put this out there to any readers passing by. At the Huia Settlers Museum, there is a case with heaps of items picked up from the Manukau Harbour coastline over the years, from Onehunga to Whatipu. Included is the above -- what looks like a three-funnel liner, with radio mast (?), and underneath "TRADE MARK REGISTERED".

Any help pin-pointing what this might be from or to do with, just out of interest, would be appreciated.

  1. Interestingly enough this morning i was continuing with my rather large job of inventorying everything in the displays in Centennial Street at Auckland Museum and came across a tin of wax tapers that were 'Ship brand' if i remember rightly and that looks similar...it mightn't be once i go back and have a look tomorrow *grin* but who knows!...I'll let you know.

  2. Certainly an attractive trade mark, whatever it embellished!

  4. Thanks for trying, Sandy. I'll bet it's one of those things I'll see in the future, and have an "Ah ha!" moment. Or a "You should have known that, Lisa!" moment. Or both. :-)
