HELP WITH SIGNATURE ON CHROME/SILVER MANATEE? SCULPTURE?

I found this cool abstract - ish manatee? sculpture at a local thrift store. It is heavy & signed with the number 399 under the signature. Can anyone make out the artist's name?
Thanks for any help!

 

Hoselton, Ontario, Canada. I think most of their work was in cast aluminum.

 

And a seal.

 

I thought a lot was aluminum ......
or, other companies did similar work..
a Canadian tourist item available coast to coast...

& it's a seal !

 

sniped by AJ !!!

Who gets the SEAL of approval ...!!!

 

You caught my error typing pewter before I had a chance to edit to correct 'cast aluminum'. You're very quick. lol.

 

You guys are too fast !!!! I actually knew this one..(and I rarely get a chance to help ) I have a few pieces of Hoselton..

 

luck of the draw...that's all......

 

What does it say under Hoselton? What is the 399 - a limited edition?
Thank you all!

 

Under Hoselton it says Canada. The number 399 is probably their mold number, if it was a limited edition, it would indicate a number symbol/edition size. As in 200/399, indicating it was number 200 out of 399 issued.

 

It is a "stock " /mold #

made in the 10's of thousands....maybe even 100's of thousands../

 

Sigh... I got it for 1/2 the $39.95 price - and found one that sold on eBay for $9.95.
Oh well, it could have been worse/more expensive.
Thanks all
