Does anyone know what TBM stands for?

    I have this enamel Horus pin marked TBM. In researching, I have found a few of vendors selling the same one. Some are saying it is from the The British Museum and others are saying it is from the The Brooklyn Museum. All are saying it is from the 1976 King Tut exhibition. I don't consider the internet sellers to be correct necessarily. Horus back.JPG Horus front.JPG I looked at both of the museum's websites but can't find any items (jewelry) showing this mark. Any suggestions?

    The British Museum (I think) - they have an Egyptian section and gift shop.

    Thanks for confirming. I didn't think it was Brooklyn Museum as they were not the museum that hosted the King Exhibit in New York.

    Much thanks to you all for answering all my silly questions. I do try to research as much as I can before bothering the great minds here but when I hit a brick wall....I reach out to the wonderful knowledge bank here. You are all so appreciated!

    For the record, the Brooklyn Museum has quite a fine collection of Egyptian art & artifacts in its own permanent collection. No doubt they have some items in their gift shop based on some of these works. But I do not think TBM is their mark.

    It might be ours, but my vague morning head thinks ours say BM rather than TBM.

    Hmmm, Bronwen and OBB your answers make me re-consider where it could be fro. Still an unknown origination I guess.
