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.
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.
ReplyDeleteCertainly an attractive trade mark, whatever it embellished!
ReplyDeleteAlas....it was a different trademark unfortunately :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks 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. :-)
