Subject:Anyone Familiar With This Makers Mark?
Posted By: Daren Lorrain Tue, Jul 17, 2012 IP: 108.199.202.175

I bought this piece at an estate sale a few months back. The Original owner was stationed in Occupied Japan for a while, but I am not sure if that is where this came from or not. it appears to be a stick incense burner with hanging snuffer? If anyone has any info i would surely appreciate it.

Is 'dinner bell' made for people think they look upper class by having inexpensive version on own table. Would have had a matching thin-handle striker with small knob.

Such items could be found gift shops and tourist areas 1950s-1960s. Not matter what company made.

Good luck,
Cal
